Whether your business team is in your office or works from home, it can be difficult to manage a group of people.  If you want to increase the productivity and effectiveness in your team, use these three tips that should help you improve your output:

Share your vision

Business teams need to be on the same journey. By sharing your vision, you keep everyone working toward the same goals. When team members understand the goals of the company, it gives them ownership of the results.

Maintain communication and structure

Business teams need to stay informed and up-to-date. Utilize platforms and tools that keep everyone connected with their own tasks, but also with others who are working toward the same goals. It can really help someone stay organized when they know where their part of the puzzle fits into the long-range plan. Having regular meetings with everyone in attendance can help keep communication at the top of everyone’s mind.

Set clear expectations

Don’t micromanage your business teams but do set clear expectations. Promote a healthy working environment by letting your team set their own goals for each week. Provide opportunities for employees to have good work habits within your team’s structure.

Manage your employees well by giving them space to do their job. Trust that projects will get done, even when you’re working on your own projects and not standing over people. You can even motivate employees by giving them autonomy and empowering them to take responsibility on their own.

Good management of business teams isn’t about cracking the whip. It’s about letting your team help drive and navigate the project while you help maintain the course. Employ good people and let them do their jobs. Contact JNI Lending for more information about financing options to keep your business moving forward.
