When it comes to working as a unit or team, it is extremely important that you mesh well together so that you are able to complete your work. At LACD, our team (not just the interns but also the upper level) has been working rather extensively with putting on Career Week this February. Career Week is a huge endeavor in terms of work to be done and how much little time we have to get it done. That is why is it crucial that our team is willing and able to work together cohesively.
As a team, you must be able to play to each team members' strengths and build up your plan around those. If you are able to pinpoint your team members' strengths then you will be able to focus on what it is that each person must be doing. Also, if you know that certain team members are experts at certain tasks you will have no trouble trusting them in those areas. This helps the entire team because then everyone takes on responsiblity and no one feels as though they must check up on other team members. Just as knowing what your team members strengths are, it is also crucial that you know and understand how they do their work. For example, some team members need certain deadlines to be able to complete their work on time, whereas others don't necessarily need strict deadlines.
