It begins with good leadership. All high level teams, groups, sections, divisions, cross functional teams have leaders that understand clearly the teams objectives, has in depth knowledge of each team member, has clearly identified the role of each team member and has clearly articulated same. Secondly each team member must know who is who, hence its crucial for the team to mesh, whether informally or formally. My experience proves that when you bring the team together in an informal setting (usually out of the work place) there is greater synergy between team embers and team leaders. Thirdly the team must be encouraged to seek the advice of other team members, there is no I in TEAM and if there are problems there are solutions. I've adopted a very simple yet powerful principle, when brining problems bring solutions, lets discuss it.
