How To Choose, Set Goals For, And Coordinate Personal Team Members
« Previous2/2
When choosing team members, keep in mind that:
- Just because a person volunteers to do a particular thing for you doesn't mean you have to agree
- Likewise, if a person wants to spend a lot of time with you, it doesn't mean you have to spend more time with him or her than you want.
- If a person wants to be your caretaker, but you don't want that person in that role, give him or her another job to do.
Tell each person your needs and goals.
- Let each person know the part you expect him or her to play.
- Let people know what to expect of you.
- You can set limits with friends and family.
- Listen to and consider their point of view to help hone your mutual objectives and get a realistic understanding of what to expect.
Make sure that each person adds to the team goals -- which really means your goals.
Coordinate the members. If questions or situations involve more than one of your team members, set up a means of having them communicate with each other. For example,
- Set up a conference call or ask one of them to do it for you. Most phone services now come with the ability to make conference calls.
- Set up a space where they can all see the same schedule and coordinate with each other. For example, by setting up a Dropbox
.
- If you work, or have other reasons for keeping your health condition and need confidential, it is preferable not to use a system such as Facebook,
Work through problems with any group members.
