Team communication skills are crucial for ensuring the success of a team. Good team communication skills can entice creativity, strengthen team relations and encourage sharing of new concepts and ideas.
Businesses usually ask employees to carry out a project that requires teamwork. Working in a team environment has many benefits, including a sense of group accomplishment and responsibilities assignment. Effective communication and cooperation can reduce stress, especially to workers responsible for numerous tasks. Businesses should work on development of employees' communication skills.
During the Mastermind lecture, Mrs Valenčič tried to update the Maslow's hierarchy of needs. Maslow used the terms "physiological", "safety", "belonging" and "love", "esteem", "self-actualization", and "self-transcendence" to describe the pattern that human motivations generally move through. Tamara suggested that stages of growth changed. "The leadership will lead to change, nowadays approaches are different, corporate control needs to change, the new generation needs more flexibility", she added.
Morever, she explained how to act when it comes to crisis communication. She introduced a lecture about leadership and productivity in a team, sharing some ideas on team management.
As a summary, different team members contribute to the overall results, but the individual creativity and effectiveness may vary. Team members need to communicate among one another in order to build strong relationship and to work effectively.
