Effective Managers employ simple everyday methods to build team performance. Here are 10 tips for great team building:-<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Do as I do not as I say<\/strong>. &#8211; If you ask team members to carry out tasks you either cannot or wouldn&#8217;t do yourself you will quickly lose respect.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Eliminate the blame culture<\/strong> &#8211; Organizations which have an overwhelming blame culture are unproductive &amp; waste energy. Avoid blaming others, especially in public, and seek to improve your own performance &amp; those of your team.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Open &amp; Honest Feedback<\/strong> &#8211; is to be encouraged. If you want to question a team members performance it must be done in private &amp; in an open, honest manner. Be prepared to hear things you don&#8217;t want to hear but don&#8217;t be afraid to point out weaknesses you feel need to be rectified.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Don&#8217;t delegate irresponsibly<\/strong> &#8211;\u00a0 by overloading your team or passing off un-savoury tasks you don&#8217;t fancy doing yourself. This will only create resentment &amp; lower morale.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Get your hands dirty<\/strong> &#8211; now &amp; then, the team will really appreciate it &#8211; and so will you.<\/li>\n<li><strong>&#8220;Big Up&#8221; your team<\/strong> &#8211; to Senior Management instead of taking the credit yourself.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Have an &#8220;open door&#8221; policy &#8211;<\/strong> to listen to people&#8217;s personal problems, it will be much appreciated.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Show Leadership<\/strong> &#8211; by taking responsibility for failure as well as success.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Treat others as you would have them treat you<\/strong> &#8211; it&#8217;s obvious but the best advice normally is.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Celebrate Success<\/strong> &#8211; buy the drinks, cakes &#8211; <em><strong>whatever<\/strong><\/em> but celebrate that win !<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><a href=\"mailto:chris@projectsguru.co.uk\">chris@projectsguru.co.uk<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.projectsguru.co.uk\">www.projectsguru.co.uk<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.twitter.com\/projectsguru\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/twitter-badges.s3.amazonaws.com\/follow_bird_us-a.png\" alt=\"Follow projectsguru on Twitter\" width=\"100\" height=\"36\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/img\/webpromo\/btn_viewmy_120x33.png\" alt=\"View Chris Robinson's profile on LinkedIn\" width=\"120\" height=\"33\" border=\"0\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><!-- Facebook Badge START --><a style=\"font-family: 'lucida grande',tahoma,verdana,arial,sans-serif; font-size: 11px; font-variant: normal; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; color: #3b5998; text-decoration: none;\" title=\"Projectsguru.co.uk\" href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/pages\/Projectsgurucouk\/179845275377478\" target=\"_TOP\">Projectsguru.co.uk<\/a><br \/>\n<a title=\"Projectsguru.co.uk\" href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/pages\/Projectsgurucouk\/179845275377478\" target=\"_TOP\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"border: 0px;\" src=\"http:\/\/badge.facebook.com\/badge\/179845275377478.2524.1626262894.png\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a style=\"font-family: 'lucida grande',tahoma,verdana,arial,sans-serif; font-size: 11px; font-variant: normal; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; color: #3b5998; text-decoration: none;\" title=\"Make your own badge!\" href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/business\/dashboard\/\" target=\"_TOP\">Promote your Page too<\/a><!-- Facebook Badge END --><\/p>\n\n<!-- AddThis Button BEGIN -->\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\">\nvar addthis_pub = '';\nvar addthis_language = 'en';var addthis_options = 'email, favorites, digg, delicious, myspace, google, facebook, reddit, live, more';\n<\/script>\n<div class=\"addthis_container\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.addthis.com\/bookmark.php?v=20\" onmouseover=\"return addthis_open(this, '', 'https%3A%2F%2Fwww.amberhill.biz%2Fblog%2F%3Fp%3D713', 'Building+great+teams%26%238230%3B%26%238230%3B..%23business+%23leadership')\" onmouseout=\"addthis_close()\" onclick=\"return addthis_sendto()\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/s7.addthis.com\/static\/btn\/lg-share-en.gif\" width=\"125\" height=\"16\" border=\"0\" alt=\"Bookmark and Share\"\/><\/a><script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"http:\/\/s7.addthis.com\/js\/200\/addthis_widget.js\"><\/script><\/div>\n<!-- AddThis Button END -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Team building is not all about weekends away in the Lake District building rafts &amp; swinging through the trees.
