Teams can be an extremely effective way to make the best use of our employees’ diverse skills, knowledge, backgrounds, and approaches to work. Properly used, teams can boost productivity, improve quality, and increase motivation and job satisfaction among our employees. You can use teams for everything from handling projects to solving problems to dealing with ongoing tasks.

Two Requirements for Success
Smart Strategy Budgets Goals Customer Service Timelines Healthy Minimal Politics Minimal Confusion High Morale High Productivity Low Turnover The greatest opportunity is spending time on the healthy piece. Not comfortable for many of us, but necessary. When a marriage fails do they say lets buy a new house or make more money to improve marriage? Most leaders spend more than ½ of their time working on Smart side. Health side receives disproportionately little attention from leaders in most organizations. Most leaders do not think healthy side is measurable. What are ways to measure? Turn over, Engagement Scores, Productivity, etc.

Your Role- Create the Right Atmosphere
Design an informal, relaxed, and open work environment Encourage respect for different points of view Require professionalism and courtesy Promote mutual respect Be fair and consistent In this part of the session, we’ll look at specific techniques you can use to build strong, effective teams. The first step is to create a productive work atmosphere. Nothing does more to encourage team spirit than a dynamic atmosphere in which to work. Here’s how to achieve one: Design an informal, relaxed, and open work environment in which group interaction can flourish and individuals can proceed with their tasks at a comfortable, yet productive pace. Encourage respect for different points of view. Remind team members that it is the diversity of ideas and perspectives that make a team strong. Require a professional attitude and common courtesy from all team members. A team can only function effectively in an atmosphere of mutual respect. Members may disagree about issues and strategies. They may not necessarily be friends. But they must be encouraged to respect and value one another on a professional level. Finally, a productive work atmosphere requires you to be scrupulously fair and consistent in all your dealings with team members. Each member must feel equally valued and appreciated, no matter what his or her task or contribution.

Setting Your Team Up For Success
Build Trust Capitalize on your Employee’s Uniqueness Over Communicate Take Extreme Ownership Clearly defined goals are a prerequisite of effective teambuilding. Unless everyone is aiming for a common target, your effort will most likely miss the mark. Follow these steps to get everyone on the same page: Communicate expectations plainly and directly when the team is formed. All members need to understand what you expect of them and how you expect them to act. Communicate quality and productivity standards clearly before work begins. Explain goals and objectives to the group, spelling out all the details, leaving nothing to chance. Encourage feedback from team members so that, together, you can refine goals and make sure that everyone is talking about the same thing. Prioritize goals and determine the steps necessary to achieve each goal. Decide how success will be measured. In other words, how will the group know when it has met a goal?
