#15 - Team Building Tips

Just like a quarterback will depend on his offensive line and receivers for his success, an entrepreneur or manager requires a good team if she or he wants to achieve business targets. Fortunately, there are proven ideas for building a good workplace team that will eliminate confusion and potential conflicts. Try these ideas:

Communicate goals clearly
Make it clear what the company goals are as well as for each position, department and branch. Informed employees know what is expected of them and can work accordingly.

Define responsibilities
Avoid confusion about who is responsible for what tasks and in which area by providing each employee with a distinct definition of his or her own responsibilities.

Provide equal training
Each employee should receive the same training to do the job. This will avoid divisions in the ranks when one member is unable to perform necessary duties. Provide ongoing training.

Encourage social interaction
Employees relaxing outside of the work environment can build understanding that will transfer back to the workplace. Allowing the occasional extended lunch break for employees is one way of doing this.

Empowerment
Show you trust your employees by giving them the power to make decisions within their area of responsibility. They will value that trust and seek to make the best decisions.

Provide feedback
Open and frequent communication is essential, both for you and your employees. Don’t keep them in the dark as to your expectations or on your opinion of their performance. It will help them feel more secure and willing to work together.

Rewards 
Everyone likes to feel valued, whether as an individual or as part of a team. Team rewards such as a lunch or some other treat will help build team spirit and give employees renewed enthusiasm for their jobs.

Other ideas include:

  • Setting reasonable deadlines
  • Regular individual or team meetings
  • Discouraging employees “snitching” on one another
