Team Building Means More Than Throwing a Few People Together
"Team working" is found everywhere within just about every organization. You can"t get away from "teams" that are supposed to be able to create something that is much better than the simple sum of its parts. There are four measures that need to be taken before you can get the most out of a team.
There must be a clear reason for the team to exist. And the team members should commonly realize what they are going to achieve as a team. What they are hoping to achieve should be something achievable but at the same time tough and inspiring enough to attract the members and keep their motivation alive. What is more, they should also be well prepared for the possible difficulties they may come across in the process.
Team members must be able to express their opinions freely without fear of being criticized. This is an important point so that the team can resolve some complex or thorny (棘手的) issues. For example, it may discuss a sensitive topic. Should they keep their conclusion within the team or share it with other employees? This is an issue in itself that all the members should agree on and frank discussion is required.
It is easy to think that a junior team member may have less to contribute than more experienced ones. This is not only demoralizing (不民主的) or discouraging. It also makes no sense—people that have nothing to contribute should not have been selected for the team in the first place. Since they have become members of your team, you need to make sure that each of them has an opportunity to add his or her thoughts to discussions.
Most excellent teams are well organized by an outstanding leader. A good organizer should be able to play to individuals" strengths and help them overcome their weaknesses. It should be someone who can act as a promoter and a constant reminder of what the team needs to achieve. He must, above all, be skilled in sharing responsibility and setting tasks to others, coaching them to achieve tasks, and providing constructive feedback (反馈) on how the tasks went.
