Teams

Reading Devon Hardie’s blog on “Teams”, I was able to relate to the various points she had brought up. I have been on many teams in the past, a majority of them sports related. Being in a team, you must motivate and encourage your team members, even when they lack the skills you are looking for. Encouragement leads to improvement. With my own experience, you must never get on the wrong grounds with your teammates. This leads to having your team not function properly until the issue is solved. Trust is a key factor within a team. Without trust, you and your teammates will not be able to work together. Having members specialize in different areas is of great value to a team. This allows experts of each area to excel and focus on that area, ultimately resulting in efficiency. Having teammates help the learning experience of being in a team. Many things can be learned from teammates, including areas of their field. I believe Devon’s blog is key information to those in a team. Teams work the same in any situation, whether it be sports teams or task-forces.
