Teamwork is the success mantra in today’s corporate world. In any company, small or big, teamwork can increase productivity and efficiency. Wastage of time can be minimised as each member of the team knows his/her responsibility and act accordingly. Though, it does not happen automatically. To establish an effective team and inspire them to work cohesively you need keep in mind some factors. A great team requires hard work, leadership and sacrifice to achieve the level of success they want to achieve. Here are some of the key factors that can help building a strong team and manage a proper teamwork-

Team composition: - A project team generally consists of a team leader, a deputy and several people with proficiency in different areas. If required, there are also advisers who provide the team with the information they need to complete their project or deliver the service they promised to deliver.

Leadership: - A team cannot succeed if the leader is not well organised himself. The team leader should be knowledgeable, inspiring and respectful to his team members. He should trust his team and listen to their needs and problems. It’s the team leader’s duty to maintain a positive working environment and motivate the team members to take a positive approach to work and be highly dedicated. A true team leader makes the team feel supported and valued, so that they can fully concentrate on their work.

Unambiguous communication: - Clear communication between the team leader and the team members is very important. So that they know exactly what the team lead wants from them. Time to time meeting between team members is also equally important to increase productivity. Team members must be able to express plans and goals, share ideas and see each other’s viewpoints.

Conflict resolution: – Every team has people from different backgrounds. So there is always a possibility that a programmer may have a conflict of ideas with the designer. To handle these conflicts properly the management should give the team members an opportunity to speak their differences. The team lead can discuss the issue with the conflicting members and sort out a solution.

Charter: - Charter helps the team to decide its identity and clarify its vision, mission and goals. A charter can explain the expectations and leave no doubts or questions regarding the motto behind the creation of the team.
