Question

Considering that team members in most organizations are drawn from a limited pool of employees or are assigned by their managers, what actions might a team and its leadership take to assure new team members become productive at the least time?

Answer 1

ANS- To assure new team members become productive at the least time the following things should be done which are given below-

• The new team members should be given to make decisions on their own because when someone is given the authority to do work on their own and they know that their managers have trusted them so much by giving them big responsibilities and make them feel like they are the most responsible person then they will work hard and will do everything to bring out the best and thus the productivity too gets improved.
• There should be effective communication because without effective communication productivity cannot be improved. When team members know what they need to do and they understand their job responsibilities very well then they work accordingly and productivity gets improved.
• Managers must know their team members strengths and weaknesses because some people are very creative but they themselves do not know that thing and which if the managers can identify that, then they can make use of the best knowledge by encouraging them to give ideas and when members see that their ideas are taken to work and they are have certain expertise then they will contribute more and it will also help the team to be productive.
• Feedback should be given from time to time because when feedback is given then the employees too know where they need to improve or if they are working well then giving a good feedback will motivate them and  boost their efficiency in doing the work.
