FREE online courses on Is Your Team Effective - Excellence in Team Work - Give your team a support

All teams require a network system. This helps the team to function effectively. Such influence and support is expected from experts outside and inside the organization. This network includes:

Decision-Maker – Eg. Top Executive. The Member who has the power of veto over the team.

 

Influencer – The Member who influences the senior manager.

 

Player – These members aid the teams by giving functional help.

 

Consent-Giver – This member provides the needed approval to the team.

 

A team could even work towards finding a sponsor who could be usually a well-placed, well-disposed individual working either inside or outside the organization. The sponsor resolves an impasse or head off conflict. It gets easier for the team with such mentors.
