Building trust and inter dependency open avenues for learning, sharing and developing. So is the case with allowing enough space to view their ideas for evaluation. Identify and Ignite their potentials to exhibit their strengths  and skills required to enhance their productivity. Irrespective of positions and with humility all must be open and encouraged to learning from one another for development.

The approach I am adopting as team building is as follow. The message I want to give to team members is simple that “The best team wins”

1. Play to Individual Strengths

You need to understand what each individual member's strengths are and put each person in a place to shine.

2. Encourage Transparency

Teams are a lot like families, and you need to let them work things out on their own.  When things start to go awry, bring together those who aren't getting along and make them work through their concerns. Don't let them put you in the middle of a he said/she said situation. Your primary job is to help team members understand each other better.

3. Establish Ground Rules 

Your team needs to know how you like to operate. I'm a solution oriented manager. I am fine with talking about problems with a project or an approach, but I insist that everyone contribute ideas for resolution. When issues arise, and they will, I don't want to get caught up in whose fault it is, or why it happened. I prefer to take time to do that at an established and appropriate time later. I am known to say, "Don't bring me a problem without a solution" and, "I don't want to know why we can't do it, I want to focus on how we can."

4. Let Them Know You Have Their Back

As the leader of a team, your team members must know that you have their back and that you are their greatest supporter.  I see my primary job to remove obstacles that are in my team's way and to be there to support them when issues arise with a customer or other internal groups.  When you team members know they have your unconditional support, they can move forward with confidence.

5. Provide an Incentive

Create a goal that your team can work towards--a day off at the end of the quarter, flexibility in their work schedule, or a bonus.  Realize that just as your team members have different skills, they probably respond to different incentives, so rotating through the types of incentives you provide or allowing for flexibility is key to the success of an incentive.

When building a team the critical thing is to get the right people in the right roles.   That is, if you have6 roles and6 people, make sure that each person is doing the role best suited to their character and skills.

The second thing is to identify the skills you are missing - the gaps - and fill them .... with the right people.

To make a best team, I would take an approach as follows

 

1.    Meet with all the team members privately

2.    During meeting, note down team member’s relevant proficiency and also what motivates him

3.    Then have a brain storming meeting with all the team members and agree on the task to be completed by each team member.

4.    Now, we have to design a reward package (financial/nor-financial) within the organizational policy but it should be same for all.

5.    Declare the reward package in a meeting which will further strengthen the team spirit.

 

6.    Now, we move on…….

With a splash of positive influence, help individual team members work together effectively, make clarity about the goals and objectives, creating environment of more openness among the team members to establish good working relationships.  Use more informal communication and boost activities that can help in building trust and respect.

First - make sure you understand what the team is being set up for and what all skill sets would be required for the same.

Then choose the team members who provide the necessary skills required.

Next its important to build a cohesive team and that is where communication and leadership would come into play.

In order for your company to prosper, you must figure out how to build a team that works well together. That can be a difficult task.  After all, creating a team means bringing together people with different skillsets and varied personalities to work towards a common goal--a complex undertaking.I see five common threads to how they approach team-building

1. Play to Individual Strengths

2. Encourage Transparency

3. Establish Ground Rules 

4. Let Them Know You Have Their Back

5. Provide an Incentive
