    I believe that it’s extremely important for an employee to be able to pick a good group of people for a project team because doing a project is a team effort. Not only does it matter that each individual member is qualified or able to do his/her own part in the project but they must be able to work effectively and smoothly. This is what makes picking members for a project team particularly difficult because all of the potential candidates may be extremely good at what they do and competent but those qualities do not make them good candidates for a team project. There must be synchrony between members and they must be willing to do communicate with each other effectively to create synergy. One person who fails to live up to standards will drag down the entire team and the entire project will be affected. It’s important for an employee to be extremely informed on the potential team members, particularly their strengths, weaknesses, an personality traits. If one person is super smart but cannot work with a group or is too shy to be a team member, he/she should not be on the team. This may seem obvious but it’s still extremely important for any team leader to keep in mind. All members on the team should have competency in communication and have good interpersonal skills because without these qualities, a team cannot work efficiently.
