Most business that has teams wants to build effective and focused teams in the workplace. In order to build a successful team in the workplace you are going to have to pay close attention to certain factors because without those factors your teams have a lower chance of becoming successful. Here are some of the factors that you will need to consider when building teams in the workplace.

Number one: Clear expectations

The higher-level management groups will need to clarify what it is that they expect when it comes to the team. They will need to clearly communicate what they expect from the team performance and what they expect the team to achieve. To help communicate this with the team members the team members will also need to understand why the team was created and what their purpose is in the organization.


Number two: Commitment

When building a team in the workplace you do not want to have people on the team who are not committed to making things work. You want to choose members of for your team who want to accomplish the goals that the team has set before them. To help ensure that you choose the right kind of team members you want to choose employees who feel that they are valuable to the organization and who feel that what they have to offer can be a benefit to further their careers. You want to choose people who are committed to doing everything that they can to succeed, no matter what they are doing.

Number three: Competence

In order to be successful as a team you are going to need to have competent team members. The reason for this is that if you choose incompetent team members you are not going to meet any of the goals that are set forth for the team by management. When looking for team members you want to find people who feel that they have the knowledge, skill, and capabilities that are required to accomplish the goals of the team. This doesn't mean that you can't choose people, who are not as knowledgeable, especially if you think they will become an asset to your team. If you are choosing people who are not as knowledge about what needs to be done, you want to make sure that they have access to the training and resources that they will need to gain that knowledge.

Number four: Charter

The team will need to take charge of its area of responsibility, meaning take control of the project or projects that they are working on. The team is going to need to design their own mission and vision statements so that they can successfully complete their goals. The statements are going to need to define how the team is going to work together, including things like how many times they will meet each week, methods of communication that will be used, how they will measure the outcomes of the work that is being done, and many other things that define how the team will work together.

Number five: Communication

In order to work together effectively as a team you will need to have open communication with your team members. The communication works best if your team members can talk to you about any concerns or ideas that they have, you need to be open to hearing their suggestions. The team members also need to be able to listen to you when you have something to say, such as advice on how to go about solving a problem. Communication about what is going on at the workplace is also important because it allows people to know where the projects and teams stand and what still needs to be done.
