To accomplish goals, a strong team is needed. Goal-focusedness and a culture of shared accountability are essential for a team. It is quite risky to treat the team in a manner that divides them. Goals are never achieved until each member's unique contribution is acknowledged and it is dangerous to realize some members are responsible for each failure. If a team member cannot be helped to improve let it be out of the team.

A team without clear priorities is like juggling too many balls. Imagine some balls are glass and some are rubber but you can't tell which is which. When everything seems important mistakes happen and the critical balls gets dropped. Decide what’s glass and let the rest bounce. That’s how teams move forward with focus and impact.

How would you recommend someone build a strong team? ✏️ To build a strong team the first pre requisite is understanding skills and competencies of your team, encouraging collaboration and building positive work culture. Rewards and recognition truly helps in boosting their morale and motivation.

Effective team players understand that personal issues and personality differences are secondary to team demands. This does not mean abandoning who you are or giving up your individuality. On the contrary, it means sharing your unique strengths and differences to move the team forward. It is this "we-opic" focus and vision - this cooperation of collective capability - that empowers a team and generates synergy.

Understanding how team members react to their workload is crucial. If you sense any tension, take the time to explore it with them. Do they recognize the importance of their tasks? Do they feel valued? Engage them in the process and ensure they are part of the decision-making. Don’t ignore your instincts—address them! A team that feels valued understands the meaning of their work, and is involved in task allocation can achieve great things.

Collaboration: Foster a culture where team members work together, share ideas, and complement each other’s strengths. Clear Communication: Ensure open channels for sharing information, feedback, and goals. Shared Purpose: Align everyone around a common mission and vision. Accountability: Hold team members responsible for their tasks and outcomes. Adaptability: Be flexible and responsive to changing circumstances.
