Team Effectiveness
How well does your team work together?
A good pit crew can change four tyres on a race car in 4.3 seconds! The precision and timing involved in 12 people working together in such a short time frame has to be seen to be believed. Highly effective teams know their individual responsibilities and how they contribute to team goals. They are committed to a common objective and trust each other’s ability to perform their role to a high standard.
Unlocking the potential of individuals within your team is only half the battle. Getting your highly skilled individuals working effectively together is quite another.
A recent study by Harris Interactive of 23,000 workers, managers and executives showed that work teams were a long way from achieving synergies that produce remarkable results. If these businesses were likened to a soccer team then:
- Only 4 players out of 11 would know which goal was theirs
- Only 2 players would even care which goal was theirs
These figures are somewhat disheartening. How well does your team work together? Do your team members:
- Trust each other?
- Openly and honestly express ideas to ensure the best outcome for the team?
- Know the goal and how they contribute towards it?
- Show 100% commitment and motivation all of the time?
- Embrace change and work together towards successful outcomes?
