71 Team Lead Questions And Answers

22⟩ How to resolve if there is problem between your Team member and get work done?

When team members are at odds, I ask them to review what our task is. The answer should be "to achieve our target". I ask them to remember that we are not required to like each other, but we are required to work together with respect and that nothing less will be tolerated. The team members in question are then asked if they can work out their problem by themselves or if they need a third party to intervene. If they feel they need a third party, I ask them who that party should be: me, the department director -- maybe Human Resources. Then I make it clear that the issue is to be resolved today, or at the latest tomorrow, that their dissention is putting the project at risk and that is not acceptable.

At all times, I make every effort to not lay blame on either team member unless the situation is extreme. (If the situation was extreme, there would be little or no discussion -- we would go directly to HR.) Whatever the problem might be, I make it clear that we will work it out and we will work it out now.

Training plays an very important role in team success, they basically many training methodologies which can implemented, I have some of them discussed here.

2) They are possibilities that some of the associate may not understand the class room training in this cases you can go for one on one training.

3) Other is mentoring were you can sit beside the employee and explain everything.

4) The major difference between the mentoring and class room training : in the class the knowledge passed to every one on equal basis keeping that everyone is in same page and each of them is capable of understanding, were as mentoring is after the knowledge is already based then you are particularly training in specific knowledge.

It can be measure by statistics and graphs, what and how team have performed.

Leader effectiveness can be measure by getting the maximum potential from its team,

motivate them and bring out regular improve output.

Make them work freely, create their own ideas, check them if they forget the objective and goals.

Note: A check can be made by high attrition. If its high, there is not satisfaction or employees are under pressure.

40⟩ An executive in the team is absconding for 10 days and did not inform his team leader. He text his leader on 11th day that he is unwell but when TL tried calling him back, he did not respond. After 1 week, he came back to office with a medical certificate. How should the TL handle this situation?

As per me i believe all the companies have a policy of waiting for an employee for no later than days and if is found not in touch should close there file as absconding and in your case if you donot have such rule/policy than you being a TL need to consult manager and make sure that if he/she is just showing fake details than should take action or else if the case was very critical wherein the employee could not even call than based on severity should decide the scenario
