Team Management Approaches Towards Higher Organizational Performance
Ineffective team effort is often occasioned by lack of proper knowledge of the vision of the team and the respective roles that each individual needs to play in order to steer the team towards achieving the collective goal (Bragg T., 1999). These factors result in each individual focusing their efforts in different directions hence achieving little or noting at all without the purposeful vision. In order to curtail the continued ineffective team effort, there is need to have each team leader to make the team members understand the vision and also the mission they have been assigned and eventual roles that each individual needs to play and the people they have to collaborate with in achieving the intended end result.

The management therefore needs to first engage as many employees as possible in running of departments or sections within the organization. When one is directly put responsible for a given section or activity then they shall feel the burden to participate in ensuring the activity is successful. The employees also need to be adequately trained to carry out some activities before they are put to task to handle the tasks. With the right training the employees will feel ready to handle the tasks hence increased interest and participation (Jones D.C. & Pliskin J., 1988).
