Picking a project team is very crucial for a successful project execution and completion. You have to pick the right people for the job. It doesn’t always mean you have to get the most experienced people. Don’t confuse experience with output. When I look to build my team, what I look for is getting people with minimum skill requirements so they have got the competency to do the job but they also have the maximum positive energy and potential. It is also about culture. You also need people that can melt together. You can have people with different races and different backgrounds but you as a leader set that culture and establish that open environment. You want them to work together. You should avoid people that are trying to outshine their own team members. You want them to come together with no ego in the way and perform as a team to accomplish the goal.
