The benefits of effective working relationships in developing and maintaining the team
For a team to be effective it is important that good working relationships exist between team members and between the team and the manager as this will lead to the benefits of more effective team working and improved morale through:
Improved effective communications – team members will understand each other better and be willing to share ideas and give support to other team members. Potential conflict situations can be avoided
Commitment – Team members will understand and accept the team goals and be willing to share in achieving them. This will increase motivation
Loyalty, openness and honesty- if this exists between team members then they will work together effectively and creatively by sharing ideas and working to solve problems
Reduced conflict- If team members understand each other’s differences and accept them in a positive and constructive way these differences in background, attitude and experience can lead to new ideas, new ways of working and solutions that would not have previously been looked at.
Increased productivity- If team members share goals and communicate effectively they will achieve better levels of productivity and quality
Positivity – team members will approach challenges such as change in a positive way knowing they can rely on the rest of the team
Reduced stress levels – support of other team members who are willing to listen and advise other team members can help to reduce stress levels
If these relationships are not built and maintained the following could happen:
Destructive conflict
Poor morale
Lower productivity
Dishonesty
Increased stress
Reduced collaboration
Poor customer services
Reduced profits
