The first key to building an effective team is clarity of purpose and direction. As the old saying goes, If you don’t know where you’re going, how will you know when you when you’ve gotten there?
A team’s purpose is sometimes referred to as its “charter” or “mission.” The label doesn’t really matter. Whatever you call it, you have to decide why you’re in business as a team. It may be to lead and manage an organization or to solve a particular problem. Perhaps it’s to coordinate efforts across functions in your company or plan a large and important meeting. Your purpose need not be complicated, but it does need to be clear and understood by everyone involved.
Here are some questions to help pinpoint your team’s purpose:
• What is the objective for this team?
• What key issues will the team address?
• What will be the key activities of the team?
• What are the parameters and authority of the team?
• What are the team’s key deliverables?
• What is the timing of those key deliverables?
Answer these questions and your team will be off to a great start!
