factors that make the team effective

 Open communication

A team with open communication allows members to discuss their ideas and feel that their input
matters. Successful teams often welcome diverse thoughts and opinions that help them solve
problems and complete tasks in creative ways. Effective communication also involves active
listening, where members make a conscious effort to hear their teammates' ideas and reflect before
responding to them. This allows a team to share its knowledge, experiment with new ideas and work
together to develop effective plans.

 Trust

Teams that have trust between members often accomplish their goals because they believe in the
work process of a project. Trust contributes to open communication, problem solving and
collaboration. A successful team might rely on team-building exercises to increase trust between its
members.

 Defined goals

Before working on their tasks, an effective team may first establish their goals. The team might work
together to identify common objectives that align with a company's organizational goals. Team
members may find it easier to commit to a project's goals when they find them meaningful. They can
create plans for how to accomplish these goals, assigning roles and making schedules. Successful
teams often determine how they can measure their success and evaluate the outcomes of a project.
This helps team members understand what they're working toward and know when they've
completed a task. A team might review their goals regularly to determine if they require any
adjustments.

 Clear leadership

Successful teams usually have effective leadership, where one or several members act as team
leaders. This helps unify the entire team to work toward the same goals. Effective leaders often
provide guidance, motivation and focus. They may offer encouragement when the team encounters
a challenge. A team might decide to rotate its leadership regularly, offering each member the chance
to guide the group's work. Shared leadership can provide a sense of common responsibility and
accountability, possibly improving a team's performance.

Personality conflicts

Individuals all have their own preferences and personalities, and occasionally this can lead to
situations in which two employees have a tendency to disagree. This can lead to decreased morale
or poor cooperation. You can help minimize the likelihood of personality clashes by considering your
work culture and existing staff when hiring new employees. When clashes occur between two
current employees, you can resolve them by adjusting assignments to reduce their interaction or
providing mediation services to resolve disagreements.
