Challenges in Team Building at

What is a "TEAM"?
Any group of people organized to
work together interdependently
and cooperatively to meet the
needs by accomplishing a
purpose and goals
"TEAM BUILDING"
Process of establishing and
developing a greater sense of
collaboration and trust between
members.
Lack of Diverse Skills and Interests

If a team consists of members with similar skills
and interests, the purpose of the team may not
be achieved.
Consider the scope of the project before
selecting team members to determine which
skills and interests best serve the team.

Poor Communication

When individuals work as part of a team,
communication during all phases of the project
is a key component.
If a team member treats his role as an
independent one, communication suffers. If the
team leader doesn't communicate with the team
members, the project flow suffers.

Role Confusion
Even though a team works together to achieve a goal,
each person needs to know his specific role within the
team.
Otherwise, role confusion results. When team members
lack an understanding of their specific roles or choose
not to follow through with their roles, the team cannot
develop as a cohesive and well-functioning unit.
As a small business owner, develop specific, well-
defined roles for each team member.
Lack of Leadership

Teams need leaders to offer a sense of purpose and
direction.
Lack of effective leadership challenges effective team
development.
Without a strong leader to guide the team and hold
members accountable, the team may lose morale and
momentum.
Commit yourself to monitoring the team's performance
and offering support as needed.

Poor Work Environment

A team needs a specific place to meet. It needs
to be quiet and conducive to effective teamwork.
If the team is virtual, the members need to agree
on a set of virtual tools -- communication, file
sharing, project and task monitoring -- to help
the team work together to accomplish goals.

Conflict
Conflict within a team is inevitable. How
team members deal with conflict is critical
to team development.
Invest time in training for yourself and your
employees in conflict resolution skills.
