I\’ve been working with different people lately, I have three team projects on my hands now and I can really feel the difference between the teams.
The first one, was a project with my classmates. I\’ve known them for almost two years now and both of them are my highest priority in finding teammates, so it\’s no wonder we make a great team and everything runs smoothly. We help each other out and have each other\’s backs.
The second, is a project with my coworkers but is not realated to the company. We are from the same school, we get to know each other through the internship I am doing, but we are from different departments. Working in a same project with them a great experience. We are efficient when we get down to work, and we also had great fun together as well. This project bring us closer, and we really become friends with each other.
Third, it\’s a random team. I think they\’re great people, but sometimes I have problems working with them. I think it might be because we are strangers, we don\’t really know each other, and almost all the topics we share are about the project. So, it\’s hard for us to relate to each other. The work efficiency is, for me, really unsatisfactory. There were serious questions about us having a \”second\” in the paragraph, but not a \”first\” before that, and the nail color on our prototype. I mean ….. , what exactly are we doing? Among all the other issues in our project, among all the other things we should be working on, all you can see is the color of the nails? what?
Anyway, after all of the above, I would say that making a great team is simple, people should be on the same page, and people should know exactly what they are doing and what to focus on. That\’s all it takes. It\’s super simple to say, but not many teams can do it all. It\’s about our personalities on the team, we should have someone with a bigger vision of what we\’re doing now and what we should do next, we need someone to carefully check every detail, and of course we need someone with the corresponding skill sets that can make the project come true. These are the three key factors that I have found in a team, and once these three factors are in harmony, it is hard for that team not to achieve great success.
