Careful selection of your team's members doesn't guarantee that they will begin working well together immediately. They may have difficulties at first. This doesn't mean you have failed, but it may mean the team needs training. If you have team members who have not worked in teams before, train them in teamwork concepts and give them the opportunity to practice skills, such as communication and conflict resolution. Perhaps they need training in solving problems, holding effective meetings, organizing or project management. By providing any needed training, you will help the team function more effectively and be successful.
