8.2 Effective team management

The assessment team leader is responsible for ensuring that the team functions effectively. This requires the following: 

• Ensure all team members are fully briefed on the mission objectives, their own role in meeting the terms of reference, security issues, standard operating procedures and their reporting requirements. 
• Facilitate team work including planning, analysis and review of findings and information sharing. This includes daily team meetings, phone calls and end-of-day debriefings. 
• Manage the performance of team members and address any disciplinary issues. 
• Coordinate reporting inputs to ensure all members deliver required outputs.
