A GREAT TEAM

The word TEAM,is used and misused& God forbid some times even abused in an organization. Team-based decisions ( some call it think tanks) or group -think, an also lead to decisions going off tangent too. And the team leader gets the boot-

There are thoughts, ideas feelings beliefs in the agenda in team building ( and at the end of the day some times it is all about "disagree to agree situations!) these are also interrelated and can contribute to enhancement of productivity in th work place.

Let us understand the life cycles of Teams.

The beginning:- it all starts with an idea which any one can generate- but needs support and action.

The Process- The birth starts with a new born team, the group starts learning and development of the idea/plan identifies the opportunity offered and the desired results of coming together.

The Experimentation - Goes to the next step - may be the adolescence stage, where every one in the TEAM starts to explore each ones roles and core competence of the group. And the best time to write down the goals and character of the group.

The Focus- Is now on being productive and the right time to start on the the clear path and directions - start meeting regularly , map and demonstrate the progress.

The Synergy- A matured team evolves, slowly the burning out manifests, and the appropriate time to induct new blood and youngsters and new members to the team.

The Success: Party time! Celebrate the results, achievements and high- performance and echo " wow !Job well done!"

(Beware- a low -performance teams- just fade away! - So put lot of teeth and muscles.)

There are several other guidelines which can be and needs widespread commitment and and every one must accept and step into a win- situation .
