Habits that will help you tackle tasks in harmony with your team include:

If everyone has a clear understanding of their responsibilities, they will be empowered to work more efficiently. Likewise, communicate when certain tasks should take top priority on the team docket over other tasks.  

Considering Getting Help: The value of teamwork comes from the application of everyone’s unique strengths. By applying these strengths to the appropriate tasks, your teamwork saves time and trouble. If there doesn’t seem to be the time or expertise on your immediate team to tackle a particular problem, reach out to another professional for their assistance. Not sure whom to turn to? Contact a trusted mentor! They likely have tried-and-true suggestions for how you and your team could tackle your latest challenges.  

Taking Turns: Consider cycling certain roles and responsibilities through your team. Taking turns tackling these tasks can help create excitement, break up monotony, and lead to the discovery of better practices for the future.
