For a team to be effective and productive, members usually share certain common characteristics that allow sharing of leadership roles and accountability and shifting the roles from one individual to several individuals within a team in a work environment. And Team building is a process whereby teams are selected, developed, and collectively motivated with the aim of improving the effectiveness and productivity of a team in a business organization.

Innovation and creativity necessarily involve the generation of new ideas that lead to the destruction of old ways of doing things and result in perfection in doing business. For an organization willing to achieve this, leaders must be committed to building innovative and creative cultures, and the first necessity is to understand the innovative and creative process, and the second is to consign to policies that hold the innovative and creative process in an organization.
The process of building a team of innovative and creative thinkers is essential to meeting the load of today’s business market objectives and goals. Leaders in a team need to develop captivity that results in innovation and creativity, which focuses on the employing of experience and key business objectives and goals which are the mission of today’s business organization. Being successful and effective in a business organization begins with a view that a productive and innovative, and creative team methodology relies on the strength and commitment of the whole team rather than the strength and commitment of one individual. One of the methods involves the combination of an innovative and creative team that becomes a linked team which is then more equipped to succeed and to generate ideas that result in creativity and innovation hence promoting productivity in an organization (Dugs, 1995).
Aligning the right talent with the correct project opportunity proves to be valuable to your organization’s business end solutions. Innovative and Creative teams require counselors and support from their leaders and managers. The process of closely pulling together the efforts of team members as a method of promoting creativity and innovation can result in a mix of influences that result in a crossbreed of generation of ideas that are original and competitive in today’s world of business.
Selection of most promising, creative, and innovative individual in an organization, and provision of resources that will promote their creativity and innovation, and creation of room for generating new ideas that would transform the entire organization into achieving the best performance in business is another method for developing a team that is creative and innovative and hence being effective and efficient in their daily duties and roles.
Team leaders should encourage team members to come up with incremental solutions and recommendations that will be used to modify the technological process and improve organizational performance. Building a culture that truly encourages creativity and innovation in a team, hence resulting in getting immediate results that will yield incremental improvements, and the need for team members to meet deadlines can sometimes kill the innovative and creative process before the implementation stage. Good communication with innovative and creative individuals working on a project in an organization can help managers and leaders to create more understanding in a team (Bernard, 2000).
Leaders should create room for the implementation of new ideas by encouraging team members to bring the new idea into reality. This is significant, not only to harvest the rewards of creativity and innovation in practice but to encourage other team members that their best achievement and efforts will be adopted in your business organization (George, 2002).

Team leaders should attempt to get individuals to work as a team relatively than as individuals. For teams to be more effective in their day-to-day performance hence meeting set end results, they have to hold meetings that involve active problem-solving and strategies that go beyond discussions, decision-making processes, and delegation of duties and roles.
