Business Discussion

1. Involve your team in setting them
Goals are clear, agreed levels of performance which need to be met or exceeded –for completing a job within a certain time reducing the frequency of errors or improving productivity by a set amount. If given a say in setting goals team members are often more motivated and more committed to those goals (in a sense, they’ve challenged themselves!) team members can also provide valuable information regarding:

  • Work methods
  • Problems and problems solutions
  • Schedules

Remember, however that you’re the team leader. As such any final decisions regarding goals job, schedules, are yours.

2. Let team members know how they fit in   
Have a current written job description for each team member, describing in detail that person’s work responsibilities. Set goals for each team how his or her responsibilities contribute to the team’s –   and your organization’s-goals make sure the team member realizes that others are depending on him or her. It may help to show the team member a work-flow diagram or organizational chart that illustrates how his or her work fits into the team’s objectives and the organization’s overall mission.
