There are many environments (work and school) where you have to work on teams and with teams. What is the most frustration part of this? Getting people to agree and ensuring that they all are contributing to the final outcome is what people would say most. How do you best do this, get everyone on board and participating?
Let's see:
- The team leader tells people what they need to do
- Making everyone speak one at a time (making them speak? hhmm. can that really be done?)
- Leaving the one's who don't want to speak alone and move on without them (but do they still receive credit?)
- Letting everyone have the opportunity to make decisions, not just the team leader (delegation!! compromise!!)
- Brainstorming!!!!!
What else? There are so many ways to handle teams but depending on the team members the approach may be different. Also, you must focus on the approach to ensure the final product is accomplished properly.
Your thoughts?
