Building A Good Team – How to ACE It!
• Presented by:• Carolynne Mather
Different Types of Teams
• Sport teams • Debate teams • Dance teams • Teams of horses • Business teams
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 hand-off 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.
Recipe for Strong Team
• Respect• Active Communication• Shared Responsibility• Responsibility to TEAM
