beginning (or end) of every day

• Go around the “table”

• What are you doing ?

• What do you plan to accomplish today ?

How to be an effective team MEMBER

13

Being an Effective team memberCommunicate

If you have a problem with someone in your group, talk to them about it. Letting bad feelings brew will only make you sour and want to isolate yourself from the group.

Don't Blame OthersYou're not fooling anyone, people know who isn't pulling his weight in a group. Pointing the finger will only make you look cowardly.

Support Group nobody likes a know-it-all…..support your team member’s ideas

No Bragging Superstar’s are just as bad…be a mentor not a braggart

Listen Actively Look at the person who's speaking to you, nod, ask probing questions and acknowledge what's said by paraphrasing points that have been made

Get Involved Take the time to help your fellow teammates - if you've helped them in past, they'll be more than happy to lend a helping hand.

But they can work….• The successful teams are characterized by:

1. The absence of highly dominant individuals, and

2. A particular style of leadership.

• Successful leaders were skeptical people who sought to impose some shape or pattern on group discussion, and on the outcome of group activities.

• They focused attention on the setting of objectives and priorities, and shaping the way team effort was applied. The successful leaders were tough, discriminating people who could both hold their ground in any company, yet not dominate the group.

Creating a Team

Team formation takes time, and usually follows some easily recognizable stages, as the team journeys from being a group of strangers to becoming united team with a common goal.
