A great team is an asset to any business.  However, building a great team can be a challenge.  Forbes has outlined some ways to foster teamwork and set your team up for success.  Here are our top three picks for how to do just that.

Get to Know Your Team

It may seem obvious, but it’s an important step in fostering a team atmosphere within your workplace.  Take some time to discover what motivates your team.  Analyze the individual strengths and weaknesses of each team member, and identify areas that need work.  Once you are able to truly get to know your team, you’ll be able to help them work together to achieve great success.

Feedback

Imagine working on a project with several other team members, but never receiving feedback from the leader.  It would most likely be frustrating and may also lead to disagreements within the team.  As a business owner or team leader, waiting until there is a problem to voice feedback can backfire.  Offering timely feedback to your team will let them know what they’re doing well and what needs improvement.  It will also help keep them focused on the goal.  As their leader, it also keeps you involved with their projects and will help you identify problems before they become big issues.

Celebrate Accomplishment

This tip can really go a long way.  When a team of employees accomplishes a goal, celebrate it!  This might mean taking the team out to lunch, a pay raise, or simply giving a shout out for the rest of your employees to see.  The acknowledgment of success can often inspire extra effort.
