A PRIL 2017
The French word for teamwork is “esprit de
corps.” This means a sense of unity, of
enthusiasm for common interests and
responsibilities, as developed among a
group of persons closely associated in a
task, cause, enterprise, etc.
comments such as, ”what a dumb idea”
should be discouraged, and a supportive
environment that is open to new ideas
should be cultivated. Brainstorming should
be seen as a time to throw ideas out
without placing judgement. The best ideas
can be culled out later.
The following article was taken from
blog.eskill.com and was written by Eric
Friedman in September 2013
Include a mix of genders. This might
seem like a strange tip for creating a great
team, but women’s social skill tend to be a
little stronger than men’s. Including women
is one way of prioritizing social skills, which
have a direct impact on team performance.
Studies have shown that companies with
female board members have better share
price performance than those who are men
-only.
HOW TO GET A TEAM TO WORK
TOGETHER
Working in teams can be both beneficial
and challenging at the same time. Sharing
work can be less than ideal if the team
members don’t work well together. In most
team settings, you’ll have a leader and one
or two other people who share the
workload for the entire team. This can lead
to pent-up feelings of resentment on the
part of the worker bees, and sometimes the
other team members can feel left out.
Teams that work well together can greatly
increase workplace productivity and
creates a more cohesive company culture.
Here are seven tips that will help your
company’s teams work well together.
Communicate. Obviously, this is one of
the most important elements to a strong
team
performance.
Keeping
the communication clear, open, honest,
and respectful will allow team members to
express their feelings in a way that
prevents a buildup of hidden anger or
distrust. Encourage team members to ask
questions and listen to one another. This
helps to build better team dynamics and
stronger relationships.
Respect individuality. When working with
teams, it’s important for superiors and
managers to understand the importance of
individuality. When a group of people with
all different skills and personalities are put
together to accomplish a certain task,
understanding what each team member
brings to the table is critical. Each team
member needs to contribute his or her
strengths in order for the team to function
as one.
Encourage
creativity.
Creative
input should be encouraged from every
team member on every project. Negative
Hold trust-building exercises. One way
to enhance team spirit is to set aside time
for trust-building exercises. If trust and
support are seen as an important part of
company culture, they are more likely to
grow.
And teams that appear more
trustworthy have been shown to perform
better then those who lack trust. Trust is a
reciprocal feeling and one bad apple can
really spoil the bunch.
Define roles. The recent Occupy Wall
Street political movement was seen as
unsuccessful because no real leaders
emerged. A key idea behind the movement
when it was first formed was that no one
would lead and everyone would all work on
the same level. While this democratic
approach was laudable, it created
confusion and zero teamwork, since no one
was there to lead. Effective teams require
clearly-defined roles so that everyone
knows what he or she is responsible for.
This creates better team cohesion and
productivity.
