of their responsibilities. Establish a team leader who is excellent in decision-making abilities and a proven track
record at handling conflict.

2. Encourage Open Communication – If team members feel comfortable expressing complaints and voicing
criticism without being afraid of rejection or revenge, they will work together more successfully. Encourage
everyone in the group to communicate openly and respectfully, and to freely discuss projects.

3. Promote a positive team culture – Teams that accomplish well socially have strong bonds based on respect and
understanding. During team-building activities, you might encourage mutual respect and cooperation among a
group members in addition to support positive team dynamics.

along with its priorities. Develop realistic goals for the team for easier monitoring of progress.
