"Help! I have just been assigned to head a new product design team at my company. The division manager has high expectations for the team and for myself, but I have been a technical design engineer for four years since graduating from college. I have never managed anyone, let alone led a team. The manager keeps talking about her confidence that I will be very good at creating lots of teamwork. Does anyone out there have any tips to help me master this challenge? Help!"

RESPONSE TO THIS STUDENT REPLY:

STUDENT: "In building a team the first approach should be establishing good communications with team leads and individual contributors. In some organizations only the management are included in meetings with leadership however opening the communications up to subordinate staff could motivate them and in some cases provide a sense of worthiness. Next there should be clearly defined roles and responsibilities made know to all staff. Lastly I would set achievable goals and continue to build upon them as time progresses. Once clear communications is established with defined roles and set goals the team will be continually enhanced."
