Team Working

 

As we come out of remote working and move back to either a hybrid or physical work way of working, it’s a good time to reflect on what makes an effective team. Remote and virtual team working, does not create the same positive team environment. Team members and Managers need to re-establish good team characteristics.

 

You can use these categories in a team exercise. Get the team to  brainstorm around these categories. What does good look like and as a team identify how the team wants to operate

Team Effectiveness

 

Effective teams make work a more positive place and increase motivation and morale. When a team has a sense of belonging, identity and connection, it enables the different individuals to pull together, for the common aim. We can all recognise teams that are ineffective and are not working to the same aims and goals.

 

You may have worked in an ineffective team at times and can remember how it affected your performance. How demotivating and demoralising it can be. We can all recognise it in politics and sport, when a team becomes ineffective, it lacks direction and fractious. This can often be down to poor leadership or the fact that the team members are so different or have varying agendas, they are never going to work together in an effective manner.
