Project Management Tip number 107 - teams

Getting the Team balance right is essential in order to deliver a successful project. Too many extroverts challenging for leadership will cause disruption and too many introverted intellectuals will lead to lots of clever ideas with little action. The key is to get the mix right. This can be achieved by measuring individual characteristics using psychometric tools but the best results will be obtained by a manager who knows her team members well and picks the best combination.
The project manager needs to balance the personalities and skills of her team to match the task at hand.
