Teamwork Top Tips

Academic Skills Advisors' Top Tips

Six steps to effective teamwork and collaboration:

1. Sort out early who does what and by when
2. Find channels for communication that everyone is comfortable with
3. Build trust whenever you can (generally under-promising and over-delivering is better than over-promising and under-delivering)
4. Establish clear guidelines as to when and how you will communicate
5. Be honest but show respect
6. Keep a 'lessons learned' log from day 1
