Remember that excitement and apprehension you might have felt when you started a new job or moved to a new neighborhood or city? People often have these same mixed feelings when they become part of a newly-formed team. Change is hard for many people, even when it’s positive change.
Concerns That Team Members Might Have On A Newly-Formed Team
When a team starts from scratch, people who have been added to the team often have concerns about:
- their role on the team
- performance expectations
- communication (within the team and outside the team)
- team dynamics
- cultural fit
- career progression
- adapting to change
- team leadership and direction
- job security (particularly if the new team’s creation is a result of a larger organizational restructuring or corporate merger)
StrengthsFinder® – A Quick, Positive Way For Newly-Formed Teams To Get To Know Each Other
StrengthsFinder® can be a team building tool that helps create a supportive environment and positive culture for newly-formed teams. This unique personality tests identifies and accentuates the strengths that each person brings to the team. When the StrengthsFinder® results are shared with the entire team, people can understand and appreciate each other’s strengths and diverse talents.
With this insight, teams typically communicate better, collaborate more effectively, and are more likely to ask for and offer help to other people on the team.
