Give them some opportunities of extra social time with each other in an atmosphere that encourages open communication. v When managing teams, make sure there are no blocked lines of communications and you and your people are kept fully informed. v Even when your team is spread over different locations, you can still maintain effective team communication. Just do your meetings online. v Be careful with interpersonal issues. Recognize them early and deal with them in full. v Don't miss opportunities to empower your employees. Say thank you or show appreciation of an individual team player's work. v Don't limit yourself to negative feedback. Be fare. Whenever there is an opportunity, give positive feedback as well.

The uncle Finding a star STAR stands for Situation, Task, Action, and Result. When you’re having a conversation with prospective project team members, your goal is to find out how they can help you complete the project and how you can help them achieve their goals so that you can create a win/win situation.
Here’s how it works:
1. You present the project team member with a situation.
2. The team member then responds with a situation, followed by the task of going above and beyond the call of duty.
3. You may have to prompt the individual for the actions that he or she took and ask the person to explain the results of his or her actions on the project.
Follow your organization’s rules and procedures when asking questions of your team. This process is not a job interview, but a fact-finding mission. You’re trying to discover important information about the team member - not run an interrogation. Don’t go overboard or intimidate your team members.
Working with Organizational Policies:
Every organization has rules about managing project teams. Your level of power is determined by the organizational structure, but levels of power associated with the human resources may override any power you assume you have. Know the rules and procedures before the project work begins so that you know what you’re allowed to do.
Finale: You should have a plan for managing yourproject team. In each organizational structure, from functional to projectized, you need an HR Management plan that establishes several things: Ø Who has the authority over the project team. Ø The process for team member discipline. Ø How team members are brought into and released from the project team. Ø The expectation for the roles within the project team. Ø Rules and policies specific to the project you’re managing.
