Undefined Job Roles

While forming a team of employees to work on a special project, it is essential to identify and enlist all the tasks that will have to be performed by the work teams. This analysis of all the tasks makes it convenient for the manager to choose the best employee for each task.

A major reason why business teams fail to achieve their goals is because of the lack of knowledge of the employees about their respective job roles. It is the responsibility of the manager to educate the employees on their job domain, roles, and description and set clear targets ahead of them.
