How to Get a Team to Work Together

Here is the article I like to read.

Communicate

Respect individuality

Encourage creativity

Include a mix of genders

Hold trust-building exercises

Define roles

Don’t settle

More detail: 

Encourage creativity

Brainstorming should be seen as a time to throw ideas out without placing judgement. The best ideas can be culled out later.


Hold trust-building exercises

And teams that appear more trustworthy have been shown to perform better then those who lack trust. Trust is a reciprocal feeling and one bad apple can really spoil the bunch.

Define roles

Effective teams require clearly-defined roles so that everyone knows what he or she is responsible for. This creates better team cohesion and productivity.

Don’t settle

The last piece of advice deals with how you staff your team. Know what you want in terms of team members, and keep looking until you find the candidates that are a perfect fit. If one person is wrong for the job, it can throw off the entire team dynamic.
