The ability to build a team is an essential aspect of the management skills required for all managers and supervisors to be successful. Managers need to be able to take a group of individuals, with different experience, skills and performances and get them working together as a team. At times this can be a daunting challenge.

Clarify the Goals and Objectives

Share the game plan. Team members need the ’so what’ answered, and the freedom to give feedback and suggestions. Give clear expectations, and timelines

Coach, Train and Encourage

Throughout the process it is important to follow up, clarify, coach and train individual players as necessary.

Reward and Celebrate

Recognize, and celebrate checkpoints, milestones and accomplishments, both large and small. Keep positive and hold up the vision of the goal and purpose.

Recognize the Team and not Individuals

To build a sense of team always recognize the team in public, and let the players recognize individuals. Individual effort should only be recognized privately.

There are many similarities to the sports coach analogy for managers,supervisors in the business setting. Watch the sports coach and you will soon build a team that works well together, and are motivated to achieve the goals.
