A team is a group of individuals, working together to achieve a common goal. A team comprises a number of key elements that are integral to the team’s efficacy.
The first key element of any business team is awareness of the bigger picture. All employees are team members striving to achieve not only their own targets but ultimately to achieve the goals of the company. This is why it is important that each person is fully aware of the organisations objectives and has a clear understanding of their own role and how they fit in to the business plan and the contribution they are expected to make towards achieving company goals as a team. After awareness has been established a team can become focused as a group on the tasks at hand.
