Understanding Team Dynamics

The strength of the team is each individual member. The strength of each member is the team.” – Phil Jackson

Team dynamics is the way team members operate and interact with each other. It is the interactions and relationships between team members who work together to attain a shared goal. Team dynamics plays a huge role when it comes to the effectiveness and efficiency level of teams. Strong team dynamics creates collaboration and support among team members leading to a synergetic effect and productive teamwork. Poor team dynamics is usually a result of poor communication and leads to distrust among team members as well as lack of cohesion and low productivity.

Strong team dynamics rely on effective communication skills, strong problem-solving skills, healthy conflict-resolution tactics, genuine connection, trust, and respect among members. Leaders are responsible for creating this type of dynamics in a team beginning with selecting the right people, setting common goals, communicating clear roles and responsibilities, encouraging open communication, and selecting leaders of the teams. By doing these, leaders will be able to create productive teams and a healthy company culture.
