What makes a good team?
The benefits of a strong team
A good team brings many benefits to the company. First of all, it allows its members to grow as professionals by learning from one another. Second, by blending the right mix of skills that several people have to offer, larger projects become much easier to do and the results more outstanding. Most importantly, it develops a brand loyalty among the team members, since they will soon start making associations between their favorite colleagues and your company. This means that they may even refuse a lucrative business offer if this would imply leaving their friends and co-workers behind.
Focusing on diversity
Rewarding group effort
Choosing the right leader
Ancient Romans had a saying that a leader who is a lion turns the soldiers under his command into lions as well. This rule applies here as well because in order to get the most out of your team, you need to put an adequate person in charge of it. This needs to be someone who commands respect through knowledge, not fear. Someone with the ability to inspire people and, of course, someone who has the best interests of your company in mind. Seeing how it is very unlikely that you will encounter such a person by accident, you might want to groom one of your promising employees for this leadership position.
