Define roles and responsibilities

The first step to having a well-structured team is ensuring clear definitions of roles and responsibilities. Many teams run into problems when these are left ambiguous. Without clear guidelines, confusion reigns, tasks get dropped, and fingers are pointed. That's why it's important to define who does what right from the start.

This clarity isn't just about avoiding chaos — it's about boosting efficiency. When everyone knows their role, there's no stepping on toes or wasted effort.^[1] Tasks get done, deadlines get met, and projects sail smoothly to success. So, skip the guesswork and get those roles and responsibilities locked in tight. Your team will thank you for it.
