The 17 Indisputable Laws of Teamwork from John Maxwell

Reading this book the part I appreciate the most is:
“If you lead your team, give yourself three standards to live by as you
communicate to your people:
• Be Consistent. Nothing frustrates team members more than
leaders who can’t make up their minds. One of the things that
won the team to Gordon Bethune was the consistency of his
communication. His employees always knew they could depend
on him and what he said.
• Be Clear. Your team cannot execute if they don’t know what you
want. Don’t try to dazzle anyone with your intelligence; impress
them with your simple straightforwardness.
•Be Courteous. Everyone deserves to be shown respect, no matter
what their position or what kind of history you might have with
them. If you are courteous to your people, you set a tone for the
entire organization.”
Communication is the most important part in a teamwork. Without communication there is no team. Through good communication we get involved in our project work easily and can switch from one mode to others causing no confusion to other team members. At the end remain courteous while communicating. Being courteous is a booster to the team work.
