Good teamwork is required in achieving the employment targets.my Applicants who appear to be working in teams more often targeted by recruiters than those who merely clever. Able to work is important because with a compact team will go more smoothly when solving problems and explore innovative ideas.
On the other hand, building a solid team is not an easy job. Not infrequently a new division finds their compactness after a few years of working together. For those of you who want to improve teamwork office, Professor J Richard Hackman of Harvard University has several key. This is a five-way as quoted by the BBC:
1. Working Conditions Stable
Currently, the company is in trouble or employment status is not clear, not infrequently teamwork to be a bit messy. It can be because members amid depressed. For the stable working conditions are also needed. That way, employees can be calmer in completing daily tasks and job targets can be quickly achieved.
2. Clear Command
For division arrival of a new child, give them commands clearly. Then convey also the things they are supposed to achieve. This is done so the new children quickly understand and adapt to the new desk job so fast solid team. In addition, it is recommended that managers give an idea of the strength of other teams so between teams can work together to help each other.
3. Training of Bosses
In addition to clear information, the new kid is recommended in order to get coaching or training of managers or senior. Because such guidance will be a provision for them to further understand and recognize the new job. 'Transferring knowledge' could also strengthen the relationship between new employees and old employees.
4. Organization of the Structured Team
Companies with a clear organizational structure also make teamwork become more solid. Because then, employees will focus on the development and completion of each job description. If there are some employees who work concurrently can be a time will arise problems.
5. Company Support
To create a solid teamwork, can not simply rely on its members are seeking. The company also must contribute. Companies can build cohesiveness employees through their policies. For example by giving vacation or outing
It is at least experienced bicycle company, Niner Bikes based in Fort Collins, United States, which has departments split in different countries. Financial departments are in Los Angeles, the marketing department is in Salt Lake City while the quality control of its staff in Taiwan and a production bike in Vietnam
Niner Bikes CEO, Chris Sugai, even admitted he was rarely in the office. Neither 30 other employees.Through his experience as CEO with employees in various countries, Chris shared 4 tips to maintain the cohesiveness of employees as reported by inc.com,
6. Believe in employees but still monitored regularly
Allowing employees to work remotely is one of the best things I've ever done Niner Bikers. This method naturally grows as the company grows.
When you give confidence to others, others will not just use it. Quite simply, observe its performance, if it does not meet the standards, you just fire him. Typically, one-quarter, one person out.
7.The words, images, and Skype
Sugai recorded only come to the central office as much as 3-4 times a year. But he has a special technique to gather employees for once a month.
Once a month, Sugai hold a conversation using Skype to discuss issues that will be done next week.
Communication quality has an important role for the company's production team who are abroad.
8. Avoid differences that could make the team was compact
Bikers Niner thought lived in the building companies is not delivered many innovations. Many people tend to have an idea of their respective communities. Geographical differences spawned many new innovations.
Examples bicycle company managed Sugai, through conversation with employees in Arizona about the cobbled streets and dusty there, the company producing bicycles in accordance with the matter.
9. Strengthen cohesiveness with fun activities
Rarely communicate, or just to talk is often the cause of the employees in a company split.
Know the purpose of the team is formed and expectations of us as a team member
First and most important, the team should have the same objective and clear. Each member of the team must really understand the purpose of the team and has the full commitment to these objectives. Clear objectives are necessary so that each member knows what we should do to achieve that goal.
If you need to write the goals down on paper so that each member always remember. Clear objectives are also used for equalizing expectations of the team so conflicts between team members because of different expectations can be avoided. So the team becomes more effective and productive. For example, a team was formed as a committee to hold an event. Where it is clear, the event will be held with the aim of what, how many team members are needed, and what each role.
10. Communicate openly, honestly and mutual respect for fellow team members
It means that if there is to be conveyed to fellow team members should be presented openly, honestly, do not forget to respect each other alias is not rude. Good communication course communication with face to face, but if it does not allow for example the condition of remote locations should we say on the phone first, then reminded in written form (email). In this way, any communication errors can be reduced.
11. Appoints team leader and role of each member of the team
Do not forget, appointed chairman / her duties as a team leader in charge of the team. Should the chairman / leader is supported by all team members. In the context of work, usually, chairman / leader is the responsible party directly why this team was formed. For example, when age makes Microsoft's committee for the event, of my course, is chairman / leader because the event is ane work program. So I had an interest in the success of the event.
Do not forget each member of the team also has the role of each. For example in the event committee, means there will be members of the team responsible for funding / sponsorship, events, and so forth.
For certain parts that need more than 1 (one) member of the team, still have designated coordinators of each section so that the coordination can be run properly.
When working in a team, we also have to make clever take some initiative in accordance roles and responsibilities. We must be proactive. Sometimes there are people who shy way its proposal for fear arguably stupid.
The important thing we should not be afraid gives suggestion or prestige for discussion to fellow team members. A good team is a team that holds all members proposals, proposals that may sound unusual not to be the savior of the team. If there are baseball goes wrong, yes they will tell of Our contribution to the team is invaluable and a determinant of the success of our team in the future.
12. Make an agreement with all team members on the rules of the team.
That is to agree on matters that require a common commitment. Among other things, what if the need to take a decision if not all team members present at the meeting, how the shape of regular meetings that need to be agreed upon, what if there is a meeting and team members in late whether to apply punishment and so forth.
Why is this important? so teams can work effectively and productively. For example, often times we agreed meeting starting at 10, as a result, the team members are often late for any reason. How do I get around this? if by me, depending on the work environment. When I'm still in Microsoft, we introduced a system of fines for late team member dateng meeting.
But in the office ane good example when I come always much faster, and enlist the help of a secretary for the meeting participants to immediately remind come to meeting place.
13. Make formal and informal meetings on a regular basis
Meetings or meetings that are formal and informal it is important, in order to do a review of whether all, this time, each team member is working properly or not. Besides formal meetings can be seen through the progress of each member of the team and this is most important if there is a team member who struggles the chairman and the other team members can quickly help find a solution.
Informal meetings as well as much as possible, in order to get closer to the other team members. Informal meetings are usually more effective especially when an example again trying to convince the other team members in order to support the idea again. The informal meeting is shaped simply got together outside of working hours, such as lunch with or coffee together. Only in the informal meetings are usually members of the team will be more open. By doing so, the team members can more quickly learn the nature of each member in the team and as a result, the team can be more compact and solid.
14. Make Minutes of Meeting (MoM) at each meeting.
For formal meetings, one team member had to make the Minutes of Meeting (MoM) which contains the matters discussed and decided in the meeting. In addition, MoM also noted the pending action along with the person in charge and the target time of execution of each activity. The agreement is very useful as a reminder for the team. Additionally, for the next meeting, MoM previous meeting can be used as a reference for the review of matters agreed at the same time ensuring the progress already up everywhere.
MoM sent in writing (by email) to all team members either attend the meeting or not present at all after the meeting. Usually, before MoM delivered, which writes MoM will ask the team leader to check first. But for who is accustomed to doing, Agreement can be directly sent to all team members. If there are things that have not agreed in writing to the MoM, team members can instantly remind in writing so that all team members are aware (know) to this point.
15. mediation as soon as possible in case of an argument or conflict
Commonplace when working in a team there will be potential for an argument or conflict. Actually, according to dissent is healthy because it means that the team members have an idea and do not hesitate to deliver. What matters is how the team leader can mediate in case of an argument or even conflict.
The team leader can lead the discussion by asking the opinion of each member of the team on the options available. From the discussions that took place, the team leader can write briefly respective strengths and weaknesses of existing options. From there the team leader can lead the decision-making process.
Ane principle does when making decisions as much as possible using deliberation. Do not forget all the team members were asked their opinion. If the deadlock or standstill, the initiative could lead to a short break, but if time is urgent voting can be done.
16. Give praise or reward to the team members who excel
If we have completed our activities, the team leader and team members also deserve praise for the other team members who excel. Achievements, in this case, does not necessarily have to achieve something very big but could start from simple. For example, able to work just as well or always-on-time (on-time) come to the meeting, according to me, it is exemplary. A big thank you to the members of the team in front of all the other team members will provide encouragement not only for the team members but also to others. With the hope of positive energy, that can be spread to all team members.
17. Do most theories, just do it
Well, this is the last, not have many thinkers as we work in teams. Are we as chairman / leader or us as a team member. The important thing is we have good intentions to others, willing to help each other and focus on achieving common goals is the main asset of effective teamwork.
