What makes a Team Effective? Team Organization

Team organization is the first key to an effective team

A successful team is achieved when the team is organized. An organized team will have team meeting agendas, assigned roles and be considerate of team members other responsibilities.

A team meeting needs structure and organization. An agenda is a necessity for all meetings. Not having an agenda is a waste of time for all attendees. The agenda provides structure, gives a purpose, and brings a flow to the meeting. The meeting facilitator will send out the agenda before the meting and send out meeting notes after the meeting. Once the team receives the meeting invitation and agenda, each team member should being to plan for the meeting and come prepared to speak at the meeting. At each meeting the agenda should outline what the team is to work on and complete by the end of the meeting.

Along with having a team meeting agenda, assigned team roles are necessary to avoid team conflicts with having “too many chiefs.” Each team member needs to be assigned a responsibility. All members need to learn what their role is whether it is a leader or supporting team members. Everyone needs to know where they stand; without knowing can send a team to failure. Leadership roles and responsibilities needs to be rotated within the team.

Team members should be considerate of other members personal and work responsibilities regarding scheduling meetings. Not being considerate will result in time conflicts between team members. When possible, give ample time
