Working
well in a team requires full cooperation. It's an
important skill for almost every employee to have. Your
ability to do your job is dependent upon others getting your work done, and
others depend on you to get their work done.
Communicate well. Lack of
communication is one of the biggest reasons of a team's failure. Seek
input from team members so they feel like a valuable part of the team. Communication
establishes trust among team members. In addition, communicating well
can help prevent and resolve conflict. Meet regularly to keep members
involved in and aware of your work progress. Post
decisions where everyone in the team can see them.
Be flexible. In
teamwork, priorities and responsibility can change instantly. Stay
ready to shift focus. Training
team members to be able to do parts of other team members' jobs can be a
valuable part of teamwork; being flexible helps to build appreciation for all
the parts of the team.
Meet deadlines. Work
hard to ensure you meet established deadlines when you work in a team
environment. Others
are depending on your work.
Negotiate timelines with your teammates at the start of a
project. Doing
so allows you to have a say in how work gets accomplished.
Establish accountability. All
team members must be responsible for the success and failure of the project. Although
every team doesn't need a leader, teams require a formal way to ensure
everybody does his part.
Try using meetings to report on progress.
Celebrate
accomplishments and encourage the team. Senior executives may not
always recognize the importance of some team members' work. Share
congratulations at team meetings and talk about whose work is invaluable in
helping you get your work done.
