Successful Teams

In order to create a successful team, it is important to work on team building. Success isn't a one-man effort. It requires effort from the whole group. There are lots of way to incorporate team building. Team building can be done through various activities, workshops, games, exercises. It is important to have fun together so that everyone feels connected and shares the responsibility for the success or failure of the group. Making everyone feel a part of the team helps the group to work together towards the common goal.

Successful teams are built from an early established structure. According to the Forbes website, an important step in creating a successful team is "defining each members' roles, activities and responsibilities within the team, what are the rules of combat: what is allowed and not allowed, and what type of people should be in the team" (Forbes, 2016). By establishing these definitions early on it allows for complete openness and sets limits between members. Building trust and setting rules early on is essential in making a successful team. If a member is uncooperative or feeling detached from the team, you can't expect that they would put the teams best interests at heart. Having a team that respects one another and wants to see each other succeed is essential in any successful team.
