4 Great Team Behaviours That Leaders Should Strive For

 

 1. Team Members Show Respect for Each Other

Showing respect is one of the easiest team behaviors in many ways, but it has a big impact on teamwork. When your team members aren’t respectful to each other, small issues become large and tempers flare.

2. Team Members Share the Workload

The best teams I’ve led are those that share the workload, regardless of the role they play within the team. This promotes collaboration which can really motivate team members.Team members feel like they’re “all in this together” and that somebody will help them if they are in trouble.

3. Team Members Give Each Other Credit

One of the best team behaviours is team members openly sharing credit for work, or publicly recognising each other’s contribution.This shows trust, collaboration and respect. It also demonstrates a less competitive mindset that may undermine the effectiveness of the team.

4. Team Members Take Accountability

When your team is working well, team members are more likely to take accountability for their actions. In addition, you may notice team members start to hold others accountable too.When your team members take accountability, it means you don’t need to take everything on yourself. Your team will play their part and take ownership and pride in their work. Ultimately, you are responsible for what happens in your team, but it helps when your team cares as much as you do.
