2.1 Team building
Team building is an essential component of the site management process. Good project
managers build competent teams of key personnel that they can carry from project to
project. Creating harmony and developing a good working relationship with other team
members is essential for the success of the project and the company alike.
A project team may be described as a number of people who work closely together
to achieve a common goal (Burke).
The development of a number of teams to achieve specific objectives during a
large project is essential for success of the project.
