I believe there are three fundamental criteria undeniably important when it comes to picking out project team member. Those criteria are communication, compatibility and expertise. I hold communication to be the highest in term of importance out of these three categories. It doesn’t matter how well informed and educated the member of the team are, as long as they aren’t able to present their idea across the success of the project will suffer tremendously. Various area of expertise is always very important as it provides the team with different approaches to solving a particular question. Compatibility, even though it has to do more with social and emotional intelligence, is still quite valuable for the survival and success of a team. A compatible team allows for its members to have a fluidity in reasoning and an ease to communicate with each other. However, compatibility doesn’t necessarily equate with complacency, which is what usually happens when team member have known and worked together for so long and chose so to work again in another project even though their combine effort might not entirely benefit the project.
