Developing a team is a process and it doesn't happen overnight. In your role as a manager, you are responsible for team development and managing your employees. In line organizations, this is traditionally done in the departments. In matrix organizations, however, it is done in cross-departmental teams and in project organizations in/for the individual projects.
Building a team is first of all the same in every form of organization. It should be sustainable if the team you form is to work together for longer.
That is why we speak of phases of team development, because development is to be understood as a process. Not only the current team but also future teams should benefit from your reflection on what you have experienced.
As a leader , you must be able to persuade. Persuasiveness can be learned. Do you know your values, your strengths and weaknesses and your ability to achieve success together with others? These insights as well as your communication skills are the foundation. In addition to knowing your personal orientation , you must find a place as a person in the prevailing corporate culture .
Leadership is necessary when several people act temporarily and want to achieve goals together. However, leadership is not the order to let people do something against your will. Therefore, in addition to your personal competence , your social competence is crucial for mutual success. Develop:
INTERNATIONAL SOLUTIONS offers you the platform and opportunities to develop as a leader.
Compared to leading individual team members, leading teams is a comprehensive venture. Teams form through dynamic processes and if you join the team in the role of leadership only later. Form teams into groups! Who can you meet?
High-performing and self-confident teams:
Such teams should be challenged and encouraged by you. Set incentives and give challenging tasks. Praise the team when they achieve agreed goals and thus strengthen the team's cohesion.
Underperforming teams:
Motivate the team and overcome weaknesses in the team together. Make informed, fact-based judgments and avoid viewing the team as weak at all costs. Find the potentials by arousing curiosity, breaking up old team behaviours and increasing the self-esteem of the team members.
Very heterogeneous teams:
Very inappropriate behaviour can occur in these groups. The team may be at odds and the language within therefore very foul. Trust among each other does not exist. Have patience and be lenient. Put the brakes on misguided processes with understanding but without compromise. Help to overcome difficulties and increase the performance of each team member. Motivate and listen actively!
Silent teams:
Be an impulse generator and encourager and convey more self-confidence and courage. Avoid making too hard decisions or reprimands at first. Consider the team as a unit and start with team talks. This will help you to motivate and open up the team members.

Potential analyses
People in management positions and employees should identify with the culture, ideals and purpose of the company. The more each individual employee has the feeling that his goals, potentials and competences are in line with those of the company, the more he will make himself available to the company efficiently and competently. Further side effects are decreasing sick leave and lower fluctuation. This is just as interesting from a business management point of view as it is from an organizational psychology point of view. But, how do you motivate your employees and achieve that they voluntarily make their full performance available to you?
