If you do not know where to start to create a good team, here we tell you:
What personality traits make up a team?
You must bear in mind that not all people serve to work as a team. They must be extroverted people, who like to be with people, generous, open-minded, must know how to fit criticism, feel the opinions of others … In short, the opposite of narcissists. When you try to form a team we advise you to look for the following profiles.
The leader: In all teams there is a leader. He is a member of the team, neither more nor less, but he has a broader vision of the project and / or objective. It always facilitates communication between all the members and groups the team around the marked objective.
The creative: They may look like people who live in their own world, a little disorganized, they may find it difficult to meet the deadlines and may seem undiplomatic, but together with the rest of the team they become a fundamental figure. They are going to bring a lot of imagination and they are highly innovative people with a desire to continually change things. Although you will have to ensure that they do not get off the stipulated path that everyone must follow, since they may have very scattered ideas.
The enthusiast: They are people who work for the common good of the team, they always promote sociability with a vision of group success. It is an optimistic profile with a great power of persuasion and always supports colleagues.
The expert: You must have in your work team someone who knows in depth the topic on which you are going to work, that is, you know the whole theory. This person will bring science, methodology, order and discipline to the group.
The planner: It is a person who will take the timmings to the detour, will put order to all the ideas and processes and will increase the efficiency of the team. Also, if things do not go as planned, you will always have several alternative action plans to reach the objectives set.
The Communicator: In case of crisis he will be the perfect person to redirect the conflicts since it is an ideal profile to share information between the team and with the other departments.
The Researcher: It is a profile that always goes a little further. It raises questions and problems forcing the whole team to look for the best answers and solutions. He likes challenges, struggles to achieve goals and stands out for having technical skills.
What should you do to maintain this equipment?
Trust is the main element of teamwork. You must promote an environment where all members feel comfortable to contribute ideas and get to know each other to be able to help each other.
You must set common goals, set goals so that all members work in the same direction and know how to do it.
To maintain a long-term team you must generate commitment in the members. Everyone should feel useful and that their opinion counts as that of any other, they should feel productive and realized as well as compensated.
It is very important that the respect among members or between departments is never lost and all the successes achieved in terms of company should be celebrated in a group, never individually.
