Teams are generally formed to accomplish complicated and difficult tasks. All individuals come together on a common platform and strive hard to achieve the set objective. Let us go through some important points one should keep in mind while building a team. 2 The team members preferably must have similar if not the same tastes, interests, needs and attitudes. It has been observed that individuals with similar interests tend to get along with each other easily as compared to others with different interests. Individuals should be from similar backgrounds and too much of a gap should be avoided. Reading and Critical Thinking 3 Always understand the team members well. No individual is alike. A person might be a very good speaker but may be poor in writing mails or written communication. An individual can be excellent in presentations but might lack the art of making an impressive presentation. It is very important to understand the individuals well. 4 The goal or the objective of the team must be clearly defined. The objective of the team must be shared with every team member and they must be clear what is expected out of them. 5 Promote effective communication among your team members. Communicate with the members on an open platform and encourage team members to actively participate in discussions. 6 Avoid confl icts. Don’t let negativity creep in your team. Pick individuals with a positive attitude. One should avoid fighting over small issues and be a little more adjusting. Everything can’t be exactly the same way you want. Reading and Critical Think
