Effective results stem from collaborative efforts rather than isolated actions. To harness the power of teamwork and foster creativity and flexibility among employees, managers must prioritize people, enabling them to connect, collaborate, and communicate effectively in the workplace.
Workspaces need to be designed to meet these requirements. An additional challenge lies in maximizing attention. With information available across diverse forms and devices — from desktop computers to smartphones — it is easy to lose focus. Managers must consider ways to give employees timely access to the right tools.
Although some employees can achieve magnificent results while working individually, their capability to create a high-quality product increases exponentially when working within a team.
A
team is a group whose actions are interconnected and focused on a shared result.
For a team to succeed, it's essential that:- Explicit goals and results are identified
- A team leader has been taking personal responsibility for the results of teamwork
- Team membership is based on the required qualification
- Precise roles and responsibilities are for each team member
- A relationship between work and its deadlines is made clear
- Teamwork processes are identified and are clear for all the members
