The main attributes that helped in managing team works were social skills. These are skills that help one to communicate with others within a group. The success of teams is largely determined by the coordination between members. This depends on how accurate information can be communicated between members. The role of the team manager in communicating information between members can never be underrated. This is especially so for the team leader whose role is multi-faceted. For the team where I worked for, every member had a specific assignment to take care of (Delmatoff & Lazarus, 2014). These assignments are put together to rich a bigger goal. Fluent communication between members means that tasks can be accomplished sooner. It also means that the tasks can be accomplished with greater precision because instructions can be passed in a better. Sometimes there are disagreements members within a group. This can cause significant problems for the group. In this case, the leader plays an additional role in mediating between the team members.
Among the social skills that were important for the team manager was listening, discernment, patient, and ability to regulate temperament. When there is a conflict between two teams, it is important for the leader to be able to listen to the parties impartially. If the leader is seen to sway to either side, it will only aggravate the circumstances. Apart from listening, the leader must decide on the necessary course of action (Delmatoff & Lazarus, 2014).

Depending on the circumstances, the leader may have to support one side and correct the other, correct both or let each side understand why the other is correct in its terms. For this reason, decisiveness is essential in a leader. Patience and good temperament help the leader to keep the team together by maintaining respectful relationships (Delmatoff & Lazarus, 2014).
The first thing that worked with the team is to establish a relationship among the members. For this reason, the assignments begin with a bonding sessions where every role of the individual members is introduced. This ensures that everyone understands who does what and therefore who to approach when a particular issue arises. It also makes it easier for professional relationships to sparks which increases the cohesiveness of the team. This increases efficiency (Delmatoff & Lazarus, 2014). Purpose is essential to a group. The centrality of the goal means that everyone is working towards a single objective. This makes it easier to reach targets and accomplish more in lesser time. Maintaining an open relationship was important I many ways. First of all, it helped in letting ideas flow easily between members. This encouraged innovation to new working methods and solutions to problems. Open relationships also helped in identifying when there was a problem. Organizational dissent is easier to identify and resolve in close-knit relationships. Power struggle was the absolute pointer to failure for the group. In some subsets of the team, power struggle emerged from strong characters who wanted to lead the groups. This often led to delay and valuable time being used in resolving conflicts.
The best recommendation that can be given in managing term leadership is to create a sense of togetherness for the team. A relationship that begins is harder to break and therefore more useful to the groups. Additionally, there is a sense of belonging that is inculcated as a culture of the organization which increases productivity.
