Team leadership has many responsibilities besides selecting team members. The task forces, management teams, engineering teams, etc have a purpose. This purpose is the objective, the goal, the targets, etc. One key for success of team leaders and teams, is the timeline to achieve that purpose.
The timeline is the start and finish dates plus all the milestones in-between. It is so important for teams to know and understand the dates and expectations for progress, events and results expected. The timeline is the map for activities like training, meetings and celebrations.
In team development or team building, the clarity of role definition and role understanding is the primary efficiency mechanism that allows for synergy, and over achievement to occur.
Remember team empowerment is the vehicle to move accountability and responsibility to the team members. That empowerment needs clarity of time, commitments and milestones, so a coordinated conclusion is achieved.
Timelines and milestones clearly communicated achieve the impossible!
