Building a Collaborative EnvironmentImportant

A team is defined as a group of people working together toward a common goal.

Building a Collaborative Environment01. Have a common purpose and goal

Great Tips:

Create and/or review the team's purpose.

Discuss why the team exists. Allow each team member to express

commitment. Create mottoes, symbols, awards, or

posters that portray the team as one unit.

Use the common purpose to prioritize team actions.

Team members must trust each other if they are to work together successfully.

Building a Collaborative Environment02. Trust each other

Great Tips:

Be honest. Work to eliminate conflicts of interests. Avoid talking behind each other's back. Trust teammates (you must trust them

before they will trust you). Give team members the benefit of the

doubt.

Knowing everyone's role and being familiar with the responsibility of those roles create efficiency and flexibility.

Building a Collaborative Environment03. Clarify roles

Great Tips:

Review team members' roles frequently. Relate team member expectations to

the team's overall purpose. Clarify responsibilities when action

planning. Learn what others do on the team. Figure out ways to help each other.

Miscommunication can create hard feelings and undermine the success of the

team.

Building a Collaborative Environment04. Communicate openly and effectively

Great Tips:

Avoid and work to clear misunderstandings quickly and accurately.

Seek to understand all angles. Take responsibility for being heard and

understood.

Team members come from all walks of life, with different backgrounds and perspectives.

Building a Collaborative Environment05. Appreciate diversity

Great Tips:

Remember that reasonable people can help a lot.

Try to learn as much as you can from others.

Evaluate a new idea based on its merits. Avoid remarks that draw negative attention

to a person's unique characteristics. Don't ignore the differences among team

members.

Team members need to recognize that they should measure and monitor the

products and services the team provides as well as the team's internal group

dynamics and relationships.

Building a Collaborative Environment06. Balance the Team's Focus

Great Tips:

Regularly review and evaluate the effectiveness of team meetings.

Hold team celebrations for achieving results.

Praise individual effort. Design individual performance goals

that emphasize both results and teamwork.
