Hello, everyone. Welcome to the five minutes BM podcast today. I like to share with you how to build highly effective things. And this is based on the book of Michael NIR that I adapted to Brazilian Portuguese that is being released at, in Brazil this week, an on the heart of the book, we are talking about the nine aspects off a highly effective team. And I want to describe this, but before I jump into the nine aspects, I want to talk to you about what is it in?

What's the difference between a team in a group of people or a bunch of people. So basic points differentiate a team from a group of people. The first one is the diversity in mostly the diversity of skills. So you have a group that combine different sets of skills. And the second aspect is the same goal. So the same target.

So it's very important. We have different abilities with the same objective, and this is what highlights a highly effective team. So let's suppose you think about the soccer team we're talking about. 11 players did go. Keeper has a different ability from an advanced player, but this one, both I use their own skills. Four, what to Butte, the result and the result is to make goals and to avoid the opponent, to make goals.

So this is the Natick of a team. So it's not the same abilities. It's not different objectives. Well, now going into the nine aspects, I want to start with clear plan and targets. What is a clear plan and target every Effective, you know exactly why they exist. What is the target? You built a clear plan. They know entering milestones, they know intermediate steps.

They have a clear plan, and I'm not telling that the plan is something that can not change, but they have a very strong outline. Alma, where do they want to go? The Saxon aspects of a highly effective team is the efficiency of communication team that does not treat. And there is a key aspect. It's not the team. And communication is so misunderstood because people are, you think that effective communication, you know, to do more meetings or to talk more, no, it's a feedback process.

And this can be in a formal orienting formal way. What we want. We want to make sure that people put their understanding out and that people give feedback. If they understood or not. It may be a reporting may be an email. It can be a formal meeting. It's very important because the teams that do not communicate efficiently, they not only lack clear understanding of where they want to go, but they also demotivate wait, the team members, they do reduce the commitment of the team.

They reduced their results because everybody wants to understand why their doing on a specific day work deterred aspect is positive relationships among the members and or why we put the word positive and not only relationship because when you work together and you want to be efficient, you need to wonder, and that relationship must go beyond the business relationship, highly effective team.

They have links. They have really relationship that goes beyond the work environment. And this relationship is not pays it only on knowledge, but its based on risk, what will trust and not knowledge of the capabilities and the limited of each order. And it's very important. And because many people think, okay, I want to build a highly effective team, but I want to do this. Only on this meeting, highly effective teams, they interact in different ways.

They become friends, the built relationship. And to do that, it's not just put this on paper to dedicate an allocate time if forte to sustain, to develop this. And the last item for this Podcast is roles and responsibilities call yearly define it. Every single person they know, which is there a role in the project each, is there a role on that highly effective team?

They know their responsibility and define with clarity, the roles and responsibility. Yeah. We will eliminate normal problems or like someone thinking that someone else is taking care of one aspect when nobody's taking care. I love to say that is a dog that has to sometimes die of hunger because owner sinking that the other owner feeding the dog. So it's very important to go. Keeper has a role in a responsibility on the game that vast player has a role in and responsibility on the game.

So we do very important that we understand all of these aspects. Otherwise it's very, very clear that people will miss or understand their own roles and mess up with the team composition and less up with the efficiency of the team. This week. I wanted to present this for items, target and plans clearly define effective communication, positive relationship in roles and responsibilities clearly defining next week.

We'll talk about mutual trust, efficient decision making process, diversity, conflict management, and recognition of the hard work of the team members in modern to leverage the development opportunities too. Each of them and this nine aspects will framework all the aspects of a highly effective team. I hope you enjoy this podcast the next week. Do not miss a D or a five roles of a highly effective team.

See you next week.
