Achieving Responsibility of Project Team
I have always provided a complete vision to my team at the start and obtained buy-in from the senior management team to add to and own the vision.

Creating Project Team Ownership
I think an important tool is the Management by Objectives-method. People prefer a concrete recognition by money of their work when the objectives are reached.

Creating a Feeling of Responsibility in the Project Team
Dear Atba, as a reply on your question, I would say
- By investing time to properly explain all the ojectives so it becomes clear what is to be achieved and what is to be expected from each
- By encouraging the group to act as a real team, so they feel really depending on each other to realize the project goals
One more advize: when putting together a project team, look for the required competences, not people. This is much stronger and transparent and it gives a better guarantee that you will have all required competences and skills in your project team.

How to Clearify what is Expected of Each Project Team Member
Dear Atba, the moment and way to acheve this is to create Work Packages.
A work package is the set of information relevant to the creation of one or more products. Each will contain a description of the work, the product description(s), details of any constraints on production such as time and cost, interfaces and confirmation of the agreement between the project manager and the person/team member who is to implement the work package and the work can be done with in the constraints.
This gives all team members a clear understanding of their roles and responsibilities within the project.

How to Create Ownership in the Project Team
Related to stakeholder management, a manager should involve his/ her team members wherever required and must. This feeling will generate the sense of responsibility them, and, at the same time, depending on their profile, give some space to them to take appropriate decisions.
