Purpose. Commitment. Collaboration.
What helps some teams perform to consistently high standards while most fail? What factors matter, and which are distractions? How a team works together should be driven by the nature of the work itself. A team of technical support employees needs different support and connection than does a new product launch team. Aligning your team to fit the work, the people, and the results desired starts with understanding the nature of teamwork itself.
Employees want to like who they work with and what they do together. Our teams are increasingly virtual, thanks to enabling technology. Unfortunately, little virtual team development is being done to ensure that work is productive and satisfying in cyberspace, or that your team feels connected to the organization and each other. Does your team have what it takes? Transform your work group into a high performance team that finds meaning and satisfaction from the work and the team.
Teamwork doesn't happen by itself. Following a simple 3-path approach helps teams work together well. When your team connects in a non-competitive way, you breed collaborative, mobile and dynamic teams that produces successful results.
