Today I would like to share with you my 3 golden tips to be a great team. Off course it makes perfect sense that working hard and to the best of your abilities will lead to a good result for your team, however there is a bit more to it. How to make your team a real TEAM- so that Together Everyone Achieves More?
1. Define the Task
Make sure you clearly know what the tasks of your project are. Knowing where you're going is already half of the problems' solution and it helps in asking specific questions to the person you're doing the project for (whether that is your professor or your boss).
2. Divide and Conquer
With all sub-tasks well defined it is easy to divide the work among the team members. These sub-tasks make clear goals which makes to project more approachable. Make sure that one sub-task is never so complicated that it takes more than 10 min to explain to a team member that hasn't worked on it yet. This is to avoid that when one person gets stuck no one can help him out.
3. Give feedback and Motivate
Giving feedback on each others work is one of the best ways to keep your team members motivated. It shows you've taken the time to look at their work and that gives a feeling of appreciation and recognition. It is also a way of steering each other in the right direction towards the completion of the sub-task, and in the end, the whole project.
I hope these tips are somewhat useful to you and that you can implement them next time you have to work in a team. What is the best way to be a good team according to you?
