Successful teams are greater than the sum of their parts. You cannot create a successful team by simply grouping a bunch of people with the right skills. Effective teams operate in an ecosystem of cooperation, communication, trust, and innovation. 1) Define how you measure success You need to have a clarity of vision and communicate it to your team when you bring them in. Define clearly the metrics by which the team will measure success. 2) Define your team's culture All companies encourage certain behaviors and discourage others, even when it isn't expressed openly. First, identify and then, codify the culture you want to foster within the team. Set the tone you expect from the others. 3) Respect and appreciate individual input A team performs better with active collaboration. But individual skills are what give value to each team member. Show appreciation for what every member brings to the table, acting individually or in concert. 4) Demonstrate accountability Always show that you are willing to be accountable for the larger actions of the team but also your team accountable for their individual actions. Outside the team, the buck stops with the leader. But weaknesses only become learning opportunities when you work on them. www.ptechpartners.com
