What Makes a Great Team?
• All teams are comprised of more than one
person.
• When you get more than one person in the
same room, the dynamics change.
• The dynamics of a group of people brings into
play different ideas, comments, and thoughts.
• The issue becomes how to develop and build
a great team.
What Teams Have in Common
In looking at teams the underlying principles in
building a team include:
• A – Accountability
• C – Commitment
• E – Empowerment
• Throughout the building of good teams you
also use the 3 C’s – Communicate, Coordinate
and Collaborate
A = Accountability
Accountability is assuming responsibility for the actions and
results that is the charge of your team.
• Set clear and understandable team goals, because if your
team does not understand or support the goals, they aren’t
working together to reach them.
• Establish the purpose for the team - the “job description” to
help team members understand their functions within the
team.
• Create an environment that motivates others to ask, “What
else can I do?” over and over until the results are achieved.
Accountability
• Activities must be in alignment with the targeted results. This
can happen only if people understand the results they are
supposed to achieve in the job they are to perform.
• Accountability can sometimes be used to place blame – if the
goal is not reached in the time required. If this happens,
team motivation is lost and the team will suffer.
• Therefore, accountability should be reinforced with the
setting of realistic goals and action plans.
C = Commitment
Commitment is the promise to do or not do something.
• The desire to do well, succeed, and make the team (the
organization) look good. In a recent Gallup poll, it was
discovered that the average person on a team that is
passionate and involved in their work is only about 20%. This
means that the balance of the team (80%) need motivation!
• Clear goals help everyone to focus on what it is you want to
achieve.
• Communicate the goals very clearly. Remember, everyone
communicates differently, so be clear and concise in setting
the goals and be ready to explain or demonstrate what you
are looking to achieve.
Commitment
• If possible, you may want to be able to choose your team
members – especially if you know some individuals work
together better than others. If you can’t, you must be able to
coach them into being better team players.
• Be aware of the capabilities of your team members and
recognize specific skills or strengths and how that benefits the
team.
• If every team member is able to contribute what they are
strongest at, then everyone will also feel better about their
own performance and their ability to work well in the team.
More confidence will lead to better performance.
E = Empowerment
Empowerment is the ability to allow individuals to make
decisions.
• When team members feel as though they can choose and can
make direct decisions, they usually feel better about
themselves and their jobs and the organization. Those who
are not constantly watched and criticized are more likely to
consider the work as a positive environment, rather than a
negative one.
Empowerment
• Teams can provide effective and efficient processes.
• Once the goal or purpose of the team has been reached, the
team can be disbanded. The individuals can then be available
for other teams to be established as needed.
• Team building is a fluid operation of the organization and
changes with the needs and goals of the organization.
• Some individuals may be participants in more than one team
at a time. It all depends on the ability of the individuals
involved and what they are tasked to accomplish.
Ten Essentials for Building a Good Team
•
•
•
•
•
Know the mission and purpose.
Know each member’s job duty.
Provide proper Chapter oversight.
Make sure there are adequate resources to get the job done.
Ensure legal and ethical integrity and maintain accountability.
Ten Essentials ….
• Ensure effective organizational planning.
• Recruit and orient new members and assess performances
regularly.
• Enhance the organization’s public standing.
• Determine, monitor, and strengthen the organization’s
programs and services.
• Support one another and communicate often and effectively.
Know What Your Primary Tasks is
• More important than getting the job done is making sure that
everyone knows how to get the job done. The 3 C’s help keep
projects running smoothly:
- Communicate
- Coordinate
- Collaborate
Communicate
• At the heart of a STRONG TEAM
is the challenge of sharing
important information.
• Team members may not be
eager to share information with
people they do not know well.
Learn to build trust with one
another by seeking to build
relationships with others.
• Work hard to keep lines of
communication in order to agree
on roles, tasks, and time lines.
Coordinate
• Complex and important tasks often require several people to
work together.
• Team members need to coordinate the completion or handoff of tasks with each other while working on common
objectives.
Collaborate
• Appreciating, Understanding
and leveraging differences
produce optimal solutions for
complex challenges.
• Collaborations can often
happen in meetings as options
are discussed.
• Collaboration requires
working side-by-side to meet
goals and objectives.
A Foundation-Trust
• Relationships built on trust form the foundation for a strong
team
• Communication initiates the process of building trust.
• Trust is often the result of working through complicated team
issues and knowing that each person can count on the next to
get a particular job done.
