1. Building relationships

The relationship between the stakeholders is Gongcha's top concern as it determines the success of the project. In addition, the company is committed to working with partners in the project to encourage respect and trust in order to increase productivity.

To stakeholders:

• Actively build strong relationships from the start. This can be done by sharing the vision and the process of the process, not only through regular meetings, but also by any opportunity the manager has with them to get them on the same page. This ensures that the parties understand what is going on and what results they produce. Help is only provided when they understand what they need to do;
• Involving the stakeholders. The success of the vision depends on the level of enthusiasm of the stakeholders. Regularly ensuring that the parties can participate in the project development process. Ask for their advice, such as how satisfied they are. This can be a criterion for the manager to improve the project;
• Scheduling periodic touch-base sessions. Regular meetings keep the project and stakeholders on the same page and this means the project can take on potential challenges before they arise. It is also an opportunity for comments on improvements to be made;
• Addressing problems as they arise. Issues must be communicated in an open and transparent manner. Rather than conceal it and go to failure, the parties can have a discussion and agreement on the necessary solutions;
• Holding on deadlines and promises. Managers need to make sure the team is doing correctly what they set out to do. Issues affecting the quality and timing of the project should be clearly communicated.

To project team members:

• Objectives, goals and deadlines must be reasonable and achievable. They need to be discussed before being set up.
• Inspired by the leader. Leaders need to be clear about what team members should do and why they need to do it;
• Conflicts need to be resolved fairly;
• There should be rewarding incentives when employees work effectively;
• Frequently exchange and receive feedback from members.
