How can working as a team be successful?

Answer 1

For one, it is important that the team members are all "on the same page," that is, they have a common vision, purpose, or goal. Also, each team member should know and agree to his or her specific role and duties. (It is difficult if everybody or nobody wants to be the leader.) Support each other by using your strengths to balance out weaknesses, hold each other accountable to high standards, recognize people even for minor successes, make sure everyone shares in the benefits of hitting goals, and believe in people more than they believe in themselves. Magical things happen when people come together for a common purpose.

Answer 2

You need a team leader that sets the pace and assigns tasks and manages work load appropriately to ensure that no one is over-stressed or under utilized.

Our firm uses a project management software to manage resources but I think just being a good manager and checking in with your employees works just as well.

I think what becomes even more important in a team environment is weekly meetings and regular communication to keep members informed and engaged. It is important to inspire and motivate the team, too. Not too rah-rah but just be encouraging.

It is much like having a really good teacher that leads and teaches well and gets everyone engaged.

Answer 3

Each member brings strengths, talents, but also weaknesses. All members need to be working towards a common goal & contribute their fair share.
If trust & camaraderie is established, the work will go smoother & obstacles can be overcome. If you can't, then you're going to have major problems.
Open communication is a must.

Answer 4

Each different team member can contribute a different strength that he possesses. This way the team, as one, has many strong points that any one person normally would not possess alone.

Answer 5

That depends on the team members and how well they can coordinate, anticipate, and fill in. This needs to be done in a trust full environment with no blame for mistakes.
