Stephen OlgadeAre you just setting up a new business and you want to build a strong team to help you achieve your business goal? If that’s what you are thinking right now, you will be exposed to some features you should look out for when building your gathering your team members.
A wise clarification about a successful and strong team will make you establish a strong business because you have a team of workers who as working collectively on the same goal.
In order hands, the failure and success of your business lie on your team members. I mean, if they are not proactive, lack of mutual understanding, misses deadlines, etc… Your business won’t move an inch!
Let agree that you are just starting to build a successful team for your business but what should they have as qualities in order to work together towards achieving your business goals? Right here in this article, I got some qualities of a good and successful team. Read below:
• Mutual Communication
For any successful business outside there, communication is one of the pillars that hold such a company.
Before you can keep track of what you have achieved and what you will still achieve, team members should be able to avoid anything that may hinder the free flow of communication in the company. Poor or lack of communication often leads to hypocrisy, backbiting, conflict, and lack of progress.
Why do I say communication is very important for a successful team?
• Mutual Agreement
After agreeing to go for a particular suggestion, they should again work together to plan on how they will achieve it. Raising of suggestions, and working collectively on just one of the suggestions or ideas raised by one of the team members has clearly predicted that such a company is going to be successful.
• Commitment
Each member of the team must be committed to their work and their main focus should be for the success of the company they are working for. Another way they can show their commitment is to always contribute to any raised ideas, business plan, and strategies.
• Supportive
Apart from communication, commitment, and mutual agreement, all team members must be able to help or support each other without expecting anything in return. Before they can do this, they must have a ‘sense of giving out cheerfully’.
Giving out money is not the only way you can support your team members but, you can support them by giving them advice or tips on how to handle a particular task, you can support them with a lot of things depending on their state or condition. If members of a team can be supportive of each other, the bonds between them will be stronger than what they expect.
• Creativity:
Each member of a successful must have at least an area of specialization which he/she can use to help the company. That is, they shouldn’t be good at the same skill; they must be diverse (have different roles).
For instance, if team members ‘A’ know how to plant a tree, team members ‘B’ should know how to water it while team members ‘C’ should know how to munch the grasses around the tree….. till the tree planted mature and sold for money.
• Must Be Well Organized
Although, each member of a team are from different background, with different skills, ideas or opinions and the way they handle things may be different but on no account should this create any chaotic or arrant argument between them.
They should be able to settle for maturity and make sure that any suggestions or idea made is managed with patience.
To achieve successful teamwork, the organization is very important. As a team leader, you must make sure that each team member has a clear understanding of your next business plan and you should assign each member a particular mission to carry out in the business plan and make sure that all team members are working diversely for the same goal.
• Merry Together
They said all work with no play makes Jack a dull boy right? It’s true. This also happens in business; if you work for months without giving your team members a chance to go out for a picnic or catch fun together, there won’t be a mutual and supportive relationship between them.
The relationship between them will just rest on work and no other thing again.
It’s very important to enjoy a good social life together with our coworkers. This will make each member make friends with each other and they will easily be able to settle any misunderstanding that arises.
