Team management requires important qualities as it can lead to the achievement of organizational goals. Composing teams and directing them remotely or on the spot means that the leader has mechanisms that must motivate these people more and more. Team members need to trust each other to work better. They will also be aware that their rivalries must be put aside to succeed. Before deciding, the leader must be reassured that the team members have given their suggestions and recommendations in which they will be contributors.
