“We must all hang together or assuredly, we shall all hang separately.” A quote by the revolution leader Benjamin Franklin inspiring the colonist to stand as one or fall as many, I think that in order for a team to be successful they must stand together. In the film industry having a great team is everything to the success of the film. A film is combining multiple forms of art such music, photography, and acting with these working harmoniously together can measure the success of the film.
In the past couple of years the way I have been choosing my team is based on who I can afford, schedule, personality, and talent. I am an independent producer and work in primarily work with little to no budget I try to make sure that my crews at least have a meal and a copy of the finish product. Schedule is a big part of building a crew the schedule must be in order so the crew can plan accordingly. Different personalities and the mixing of them have to be taken in to account when building a team. Some personalities are better suited for working with each other than others and bad mix of personality could hurt the team. Last but not least I feel you, as a leader should surround yourself with talented individuals that can help you reach your goals.
I feel as leader you should take upon yourself to delegate tasks, let the team know what is expected of them, set a time so a team can mesh, most important motivate, and finally execute your plan.
