Highly developed People Skills are key to working collaboratively as a research team. They become even more important when working with team members from outside the Research Team Leader’s line management control, their department, institution, university, country or even sector. Building trust and respect amongst research team members becomes ever more crucial. The research team need to have absolute clarity over their roles and responsibilities and addressing issues of motivation or poor performance becomes increasingly challenging.
