 KEYS TO LEADING A TEAM

 Continually refocus the team on its purpose. Teams can drift from
their fundamental charge; the leader must keep them on task.

critiques its own process, the more finely-tuned that process becomes.

Watch for opportunities to promote participation and involvement.

Make everyone feel a part by giving everyone a role.

 Don't hog the limelight; spread credit among team members.

 Reward and celebrate successes -- even the minor ones.

 Know the members of your team; find out their needs, their
strengths, and their weaknesses.

 CONCLUSION

Not all groups become teams. Some groups function poorly

throughout their lifespan, never reaching the climate, camaraderie
and productivity of a team. Generating a team is a planned process
that take time, energy, knowledge and insight. Leaders and team
members who understand the factors involved can increase the
chances of success by making sure that the important factors are
dealt with openly and regularly. Groups who take the time to build
their working relationships and who actively monitor their own
group processes will become the most productive and effective
teams.
