Building trust in a team The most important aspect of collaboration is trust. If you want teams to trust each other more and more, you need to build trust, openness and communication from the beginning. Learn to delegate.
Delegation comes in two forms: work delegation and authority delegation.
Delegation is breaking down each project into individual tasks with specific goals and assigning them to team members. Then, leave it to them and only intervene when the goals are not met.
Delegation of authority is, after consultation, giving the delegatee full authority and leaving them to exercise it.
When delegating, it is necessary to identify the types of characteristics when delegating:
- Ability to do: This is the case when we meet the ideal delegate, willing to accept responsibility and also willing to consult others, and carry out the delegated idea.
- Likely to be unwilling to take action: This type of person is unwilling to learn and accept other people's opinions, lacks a cooperative spirit, and should not be given authority.
- Lack of ability to perform: Needs training to overcome weaknesses before being delegated.
- Lack of ability, unwillingness to do: Assigning work to this type of person is definitely a big failure.
Increase openness
Collaboration and closed-mindedness cannot coexist, so leaders who are not open to their team members cannot mobilize their potential. Formal and informal meetings should be organized to help increase openness.
Encourage everyone to speak up
Leaders need to encourage people to discuss, even opposing opinions have value.
Maximize the effectiveness of the group
Make people fully accountable for their work and empower them to perform and improve their work in ways that they feel can make the greatest contribution to the team.
