Working together
A winning team shows the following basic future directions: (1) strong and effective leadership; (2) sound decisions; the ability to act quickly on decisions; (3) information comfort; mastery of the skills and techniques required to complete the project at hand; (4) clear goals for the team to aim for; and (5) finding a balance of team capabilities.
Working together means a group discusses a new plan. Everyone gets to give their own ideas. Then the group leader evaluates the contributions.
Analyze team tasks
- Effective teams are structured so that everyone is doing their job well. There are three basic ways to accomplish tasks:
- It is necessary to stabilize each member's role for repetitive tasks and familiar work so that they complete the work independently like a production line.
- For jobs that require creativity, in addition to stabilizing roles and working methods, consensus is also needed, such as when new products arise.
- Jobs that require creativity and individual work require people to work closely with you as assistants. This type of work often requires a high level of management.
Achievable
The power of a group, no matter how small, is always better than an individual, because it has the intelligence of the whole group combined. By exploiting this intelligence, the group has the ability to go further to overcome any obstacle. For a perfect group, nothing can hinder their ability to operate. For example, when faced with a "tricky" task, the members of the group will strengthen each other's confidence to turn the "impossible" into reality.
Teamwork
This is an important process that produces results. Setting long-term goals is a way to motivate groups to combine their efforts to focus on achieving positive results in the shortest possible time.
Know the team's goals
Once a group has been formed, the next important step is to establish goals. These goals may change as the group progresses. Depending on the circumstances, group goals may include:
- Increase performance speed in business.
- Improve product quality.
- Mobilize all workers to complete the job.
- Review production systems to reduce time waste.
- Build stronger relationships with customers to better understand market needs.
