A few aspects on teamwork

Hello all!

During Friday’s team exercises and discussions about how to act under various circumstances when working with a partner or in a team, the opinions somewhat differed in the class. Not much, but a little. For example there were discussions about responsibilities and ways of handling things in case of unexpected events.

What I have posted below is a short article that describes 5 necessary steps to build an effective team. These steps doesn’t necessarily answers the questions raised during Friday’s exercises but they certainly cover one of in my opinion most important aspects; clarification and realisation of what and how much that can be achieved through successful teamwork. More specifically these simple steps made me think about the importance of being of a common opinion within the team before the actual work begins.

BUT, mainly I consider these steps useful to just read through and think about when working with the venture project. Although the article is from a leader point of view, seeing these steps from a group perspective reminds me of some things that are important to effectively work in a team.

Here’s the article: http://www.inc.com/peter-economy/5-steps-to-really-effective-teams.html
