2. Understanding Successful business teams
2.1 Characteristics of successful business teams
In any organizational environment, there are certain essential characteristics of
successful business teams. Emirates Airlines is an aviation organization, which means that
there are many essential departments that are present to improve the operations and functions
of the organization. Service becomes one of the most important features of any Airline
business. This further enhances the need for creating successful business teams.
One of the most important characteristics of effective business teams is
communication within the team. Communication is one of the most important aspects that is

required for understanding job roles, functional requirements, coordination and team work.
Hence, it becomes imperative for a successful business team that they communicate
effectively with each other. Poor communication can result in ineffective coordination and
job understanding. Particularly in any service situation this can mean severe loss of business
and goodwill.
Focus and goal orientation is another very important aspect of successful teams. In all
business environments having goals and objectives are important. The goals need to be
focused on the agreeable outcomes and results that are to be achieved (Druskat and
Albuquerque 2018). A plan needs to be set in regards to how teams can achieve certain goals.
Goal orientation helps to bridge the gap between team members and helps to bring different
viewpoints into a singular agreeable path for achieving objectives.
Successful teams are made from fair deal of support provided by each and every team
member. This creates an effective and efficient functional team. Teams cannot run on the
singular effort of some team members. A sense of belonging need to be created that helps all
team members to provide their essential efforts towards a given cause. Without coordinated
efforts towards productivity successful business teams cannot be created.
Team members in successful teams are always pleased to help others when they need
to operate with a helping side. Teams tend to be more efficient when organizational
assistance and access to the necessary resources are also available.
Everyone tends to be unique and can give personal experiences and understanding
that others may not have. Hence, diversity is much needed in the contemporary teams that
can cover all the abilities required and each person can be allocated a specific position based
on their strengths and abilities (Lockwood 2015).
