Creating a successful team

One definition of "team" is:-  "A group of people working together to achieve a common goal".

Of course, instead of people it might be a team of ants, or wolves, or killer whales. The principle is the same.

However, I don't imagine that ants, wolves or killer whales will be reading this web-site so let's get back to people.

If everyone in the team is pulling in the same direction, and that direction is the right one, the team stands a good chance of achieving its goal.

So, as the leader, what can you do if your team members are all pulling in different directions, perhaps because they don't know which way is the right way?

Well, one thing you could do is attend this training module.
