Building a successful team is about more than finding a group of people with the right mix of professional skills. Effective teamwork is both profoundly simple and difficult at the same time and the success of a particular team is also tied in closely with the culture of their organization.


Here are a few factors that have a serious impact on how successful work teams will be in your organization.


> Psychological safety

This revolved around feelings of security and trust within a team. The level of risk members feel able to take and whether doing so would leave them feeling insecure or embarrassed.


> Dependability

This is pretty self-explanatory. Dependability encompasses a team's ability to rely on one another, trust that work will be delivered on time and of high quality.


> Structure & Clarity

Structure and clarity refers to how clear teams are on their goals, the roles, and responsibility of each individual and how these are actioned and executed


> Meaning of Work

Teams that succeed are often made up of individuals who are working on something that feels important on a personal level. The work has a meaning that goes beyond just satisfying the company and the team company and has personal value to the individual


> Impact of Work

Teams who have a genuine belief in the value of the work they are investing in and that it matters, again, influence the success of the teams.
