You might be surprised at the reality. Good pay is important , but today’s employees are looking beyond their paychecks to the things that make work more emotionally rewarding.


working relationships are the roles of a team leader.

Tip 1:
Make sure that you leave plenty of time in your schedule to coach team members through the "Forming", "Storming" and "Norming" stages.

Tip 2:
Think about how much progress you should expect towards the goal and by when, and measure success against that. Remember that you've got to go through the "Forming", "Storming" and "Norming" stages before the team starts "Performing", and that there may not be much progress during this time. Communicating progress against appropriate targets is important if your team's members are to feel that what they're going through is worth while. Without such targets, they can feel that, "Three weeks have gone by and we've still not got anywhere".

Tip 3:
Not all teams and situations will behave in this way, however many will – use this approach, but don't try to force situations to fit it. And make sure that people don't use knowledge of the "storming" stage as a license for boorish behavior.
