Team Essentials

There are many lists advising what characteristics must be present for groups and teams to work together effectively. We believe that the following list represents those characteristics that are absolutely essential.

1: Does everyone on the team have clearly defined responsibilities?

2: Does everyone on the team know what the company goals are?

3: Do the team goals fall in line with the company goals?

4: Do personal goals fall in line with the team goals?

5: Do you have operating guidelines in place for all the tasks that the team performs?

6: Does your team have a clear decision making process?

7: Does your team know when to take risks and when not to take risks?

8: Does your team have clear guidelines for resolving conflict?

9: Does your team know how to handle change when it happens?
