Be accountable for
the work you have a part in, meet deadlines, and put out
quality work that isn’t sloppy. Don’t let the socialization aspect of teamwork cause
your job duties to suffer. Be a partner that is
dependable to complete your
responsibilities on time and with pride.
By doing your part on the team, others will appreciate your reliability and
enjoy collaborating with you on a team.
Don’t let too much collaboration hold you back
While a collaborative environment can make work
easier and build up trust
within your team, over-collaboration or collaborating without boundaries can
hinder workflows as well.
Good collaborators know
to set specific boundaries, such as establishing
deadlines, limiting the number of people on a team,
or creating
meeting
agendas
to make teamwork effective and productive. If the boundaries or
deliverables aren’t met, the leader of the team needs to hold the team
members
accountable
for their part so work can continue to get done.
In
addition, too much time spent collaborating, whether it be in meetings or
virtual chats, can make teams less productive. Employees should prioritize getting
work done and avoid going in circles by scheduling
too many meetings to talk
about the project.
To avoid getting trapped in these collaboration pitfalls, use effective
communication to set a
shared goal
or two for the team and align expectations for
producing work on an efficient timeline. Clear expectations
will keep each team
member in line and make the most of using teamwork to achieve the results
needed.
