- 1). Give each member of the team an equal amount of work. Teams with unevenly distributed workloads develop a high level of stress, and the perceived unfairness may be offensive to team members. Even though the tasks given to each team member differ, the amount of work that is expected of each person should be equivalent.
- 2). Assign each team member a job in her area of expertise. For example, if you are planning a business meeting and a member of your team has experience as a secretary, put her in charge of note taking and distribution. Selecting the best team member for each job will improve your results.
- 3). Give each team member a task that he has the resources to complete. Sometimes a setback occurs when issues such as unavailability of materials or lack of knowledge come to light. Make sure the work you distribute to your team members is within their capabilities, or give them the necessary supplies or information to complete their tasks.
- 4). Allow each team member a reasonable amount of time to complete the task. Otherwise, the results may be substandard.
