Creating a Team Culture
Constructing a team is a good thing. Creating a “culture” of teamwork is much better. The post below from “The Balance” can give you important input about creating a culture for your team. These can make a difference in your team’s success.
Teams with a team culture are aware that every success of every individual is the success of the entire team, not just that individual. Share this philosophy with new team members right upfront. Knowing that this is a team and collaboration is expected of them will speed their individual accomplishments.
Don’t be shy about reminding them of the value of the culture that drives their successes. Reward and celebrate teamwork and recognize it often. Emphasize that the amounts of their bonuses will depend on how effectively they operate within the team culture.
This post also offers some great tips for team building, itself. Team building is something you do every day. Together you can solve each other's “real” work issues and problems. Build celebrations around successes and make team collaborations fun and make FUN part of every agenda.
The team concept has quickly become a popular tool for businesses everywhere. That suggests that more and more companies understand that “none of us is as good as all of us”. Make that your belief system and create an environment that has a “system” and allows that system to duplicate. Duplication provides a fast track to success.
