ctiveness as a manager or entrepreneur. And even if you are not in a management or leadership role yet, better understanding of team work can make you a more effective employee and give you an extra edge in your corporate office. Team building success is when your team can accomplish something much bigger and work more effectively than a group of the same individuals working on their own. There are two critical factors in building a high performance team. The first factor in team effectiveness is the diversity of skills and personalities. It means people use their strengths in full, but can compensate for each other's weaknesses. Or, different personality types balance and complement each other. The other critical element of team work success is that all the team efforts are directed towards the same clear goals, the team goals. This relies heavily on good communication in the team and harmony in member relationships. In real life, team work success rarely happens by itself if there are no focused team building efforts or activities. There is simply too much room for problems. For example, different personalities may build up conflicts. Or even worse, some people with similar personalities may start fighting for authority and dominance in certain areas of expertise. Even if the team goals are clear and accepted by everyone, there may be no team commitment to the group goals, or no consensus on the means of achieving those goals. There may be a lack of trust and openness which may block the critical communication and lead to loss of coordination in the individual efforts. This is why every team needs a good leader who is able to deal with all team work issues.

Two Traits of a Successful College Student

First-time college students don't realize the reality shock they will receive when they get to college. High school and college atmosphere are extremely different in many ways and college students face many new challenges. To get through college successfully, all first-time college students must be dedicated and independent.

Dedication is a primary part of being successful in college. Students must work hard and take action to learn at a college level. Assignments can't be left until the last minute like they might have been in high school. College students must be willing to speak up in class and ask questions when they don't understand. Dedication means setting priorities for success; dedication means putting off going out with friends and caring about producing the best work possible. Dedicated students will do their work and do it well, spending hours reading textbooks, reviewing notes, and revising essays.
