Team Building-Upgradation of Team Members

To start with, you can help your subordinates to learn more from their experience by:

Giving time for them to review their actions and work out what was effective, what wasn’t and why, rather than indulging in constant ‘fire-fighting’ (it might prevent a few fires) – Every person it having his/her own grasping power. A team leader should give enough time to his/her team-mates to review their actions in respective the assign goal/tasks. It leads to learning from their own assignments rather a push from outside and it gives positive energy to respective team-mates to accomplish future assignment.

Giving feedback on how they perform; on the results and the way they achieved them- A team lead should share regular feedback with his/her team-mates on their performance on given task, and guide/coach them if required to improve productivity.

Encouraging them to question their assumptions and ready-made conclusions about what experiences mean – A team lead should allow a healthy environment in team, which allow team-mates to approach team lead in the case of any query on assignment. Even after a effective communication on task requirement, some of team-mates might required some clarification on his/her assignments.

Letting them try new ways of doing things to create fresh experiences, rather than rigidly following previous patterns or adapting other peoples’ solution as short-cuts- If the assigned task is not crucial and need not require to follow rigid path, a team lead can allow his/her team mates to try new ways of accomplishing the given tasks. It leads creativity in team and might result more effective ways of doing a task.
