Creating an Effective Team

While researching tips on how to create an effective team, I stumbled across some sites that shared three common tips on keeping everyone inside your team happy and satisfied with the results. One must always be conscious of any issues with trust and respect between teammates, as well as making sure the group’s communication is working for everyone.

First, when working in a group or team, it is very important to establish trust between every member of the group. Being able to have confidence in each other’s ability to accomplish the appropriate tasks is very important. Trust issues inside a group can surely break its growth and productivity (Sanjac.edu).

            Second, having respect for each member is also important. Not everyone will share the same opinions or ideas and a high level of respect for one another is important in successful groups. There will always be differences between all human beings on the basis of someone’s age, gender, education, etc. (Sanjac.edu). 

Third, but definitely not last, is communication. In my opinion, this may be the most important tip anyone can give when working as a group. Communication through success and hardships will create the best group atmosphere for everyone involved. Good communication will help teach cooperation among team members. Companies whose employee’s cooperation successfully as part of a team will work projects more effectively and efficiently (Laurie, R).

When working with other people, it is extremely important to stay aware of the overall health of the team. Keeping track of the team’s  trust levels, respect issues, and communication among members will help make sure the outcome of your team is a positive for everyone involved.
