Total teamwork: how to be a leader, how to be a member

Article Abstract:

A number of guidelines can be followed in order to achieve successful management of a project team. It is important to have clearly-defined goals for the team, making sure that a mission statement is written and that criteria for success of the project are planned in advance. The team must agree on how the team will work together, following such rules as only holding a meeting when there is a good reason for it, making sure team members are well-prepared before the meeting, and splitting into subgroups when complicated problems arise. Guidelines for being a group member include: becoming acquainted with fellow team members; being clear on assignments; participating at team meetings; and staying in touch with other team members when working on individual assignments.

Team for a change

Article Abstract:

Some National Health Service Trusts use teambuilding courses to help staff cope with change. The course allows staff to communicate with each other, develop leadership skills and recognize their own skills and those of others. The courses involve working together to complete a challenge. Good teams are frank with each other, get on well with other teams, have useful meetings, can agree on their roles and functions and regularly review their progress. It is essential that the teams take what they have gained back to the workplace if the course is to have any lasting benefit.

The survey was based on 67 British manufacturing firms and an analysis of their performance over time. For 36 of these firms, researchers also relied on employee ratings of corporate culture investigating areas including concern for employee welfare, performance pressure and training, and job satisfaction and commitment to the business.
