“Teamwork is the ability to work together toward a common vision. The ability to direct individual accomplishments toward organizational objectives. It is the fuel that allows common people to attain uncommon results.” –Andrew Carnegie
The difference between success and failure is a great team. But the complicated dynamics of orchestrating a group of individuals into a high-performing team is a daunting challenge. Where do you start?
Ask yourself:
- Are you struggling to bring people together who are never around?
- Are you perplexed trying to fill the weak gaps in your group?
- Do you accomplish projects, but find yourself drained by key individuals you had to work with?
- Do you find you’re manipulating others in order to reach team consensus?
- Is the common enemy that brings you together as a team the very people you must work with to get the job done?
- Do you wonder what everyone else is doing to make his or her team more successful?
