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.
