For a team to develop, it is necessary to ensure three elements: common goals, training trends and a collaborative environment. Emphasizing the issue of common goals, speaker Michael Snyder - a member of a non-profit organization, shared: "Common goals are the driving force to promote team development. This goal must be meaningful to all team members. When working, it is necessary to regularly review periodically and orient common goals to suit the development of the group, so that everyone can strive to move forward together.

Common goals need standards to measure. Because we cannot manage what we cannot measure. Therefore, you need to follow closely to evaluate each member's skills and be able to easily catch up with which members need help when they have not yet completed their goals. Communicate frankly and provide complete feedback to help employees resolve problems during implementation.

A work group will achieve higher results if all the legitimate expectations of each individual in the group are met.

Project management - The core factor affecting the success or failure of a team

Nowadays, businesses are aware of the dynamic nature of project management. Project management is a discipline that ensures collaboration, sharing, and progress reporting so that everyone and stakeholders can clearly understand the status of the project. Therefore, this is considered a necessary factor to help businesses focus more on important points such as time constraints, budget, measuring results and becoming flexible, ensuring construction is on schedule. and construction quality. Therefore, project management greatly determines the success or failure of a team and a business. Because if not managed well, there will be many arguments with unclear goals, lack of resources, high risks, poor product quality, projects having to pay the budget for delays and project weaknesses. .

To be successful and reduce risks in project management, Mr. Paul Standifer (former manager of Y-12 nuclear power plant, Engineer of Energex energy corporation, Tennessee) shared: “ Project management is governed by three factors: time, cost and level of completion. Through project management, the implementing company and the customer can know the progress to divide into different development stages. If the work is completed in accordance with technical and quality requirements, within the approved budget and within the allowed time schedule, it is considered successful project management.

However, in business there are many unexpected things that happen, sometimes costs will increase, time lengthens and scope is expanded, exceeding estimates in project management. Therefore, additional fines arise due to failure to complete the schedule stated in the contract. To avoid these things, managers must reconsider what is the goal of the project? Besides, it is necessary to communicate in the project. Because collaborating well with all team members depends a lot on understanding and good communication. Effective communication will increase productivity, reduce management errors and run work more smoothly. At the same time, it helps you correctly identify problems and risks, so you can make necessary decisions throughout the project. Therefore, as a project manager, you will not be successful without communication.
