Clearly Defined Roles and Responsibilities

Establishing clear roles and responsibilities for each team member is essential for maximizing productivity and avoiding confusion. When you set boundaries, goals, roles, and expectations, consider:

  • Producing job descriptions for everyone
  • Write comprehensive job descriptions that go beyond a title
  • Allocate tasks fairly and evenly
  • Focus on the strengths of your team

Did you know that a Gallup study found that teams with well-defined roles and responsibilities are 70% more likely to have high engagement levels? That alone is enough to make this simple change. At the same time, the Journal of Business and Psychology found that clearly defined roles contribute to higher job satisfaction and lower levels of stress among team members.

Effective Communication Channels

Establishing effective communication channels is crucial for seamless information flow and collaboration within the project team. Most companies tend to overdo this, but you can save some time by:

  • Hosting regular team meetings
  • Using workplace tools that everyone can access
  • Sticking to just one workplace tool to reduce confusion
  • Send one comprehensive message instead of several shorter messages

Clear Project Timeline and Milestones

Establishing a clear project timeline with defined milestones helps track progress, manage deadlines, and maintain focus. But, how do you fit deadlines and good, common sense into the equation?

  • Set all deadlines with the expectation that they can be changed if need be
  • Make it clear when certain deadlines cannot change for any reason
  • Maintain a singular calendar the whole team can review

Collaborative Decision-Making

Encourage collaborative decision-making within the project team to leverage diverse perspectives and foster a sense of ownership. Basically, you want everyone to be involved, but how do you do that?

  • Host brainstorming sessions
  • Work with the team to build consensus without overwhelming individual members
  • Listen to criticism
  • Scrap ideas that don’t work
  • Don’t be afraid to make big changes with the team’s help, especially when they’re stuck or overworked.

For example, the Journal of Applied Psychology found that team decision-making positively impacts team performance and satisfaction, just like the Harvard Business Review did. This is common knowledge, but some managers or business owners simply forget that they need outside input.

Continuous Learning and Skill Development

Promoting continuous learning and skill development within the project team enhances individual and collective capabilities. Briefly, you need to make an investment in training now. Remember the oft-told story, “it’s expensive to invest in your team and they leave, but what happens if you don’t invest in them and they stay?”

Spend your time and energy on:

  1. Training and workshops
  2. Certification courses
  3. Free knowledge sharing across the team
