Building Teamwork In Your Company

For over a decade, it was amazing how many companies use freely the word "team". Teamwork is good, right? This is why so many companies exhibit halls beautiful photographs of athletes kayaking with the word "team" is printed in large letters on the bottom. This is a great reminder, but after walking as a photograph, shift workers in their work areas and dive into the reality of the new individualism, and the hope of a bonus based on individual performance or the announcement of the next employee month - parking. And of course, there is always the policy of selling to the right people to get ahead.

Unfortunately, most companies offer their knowledge "absolute proof" that are nothing more than a joke about "team" in the way they design your lists. Organizing cities contain a series of boxes with names, either within or under them, beginning with the top and bottom connection as a pyramid. From these graphs, it is easy to see that some people are more "plus", which leads to discussions about "what beat that." I've even heard people brandishing a chart in his eyes and looking through the page to see if they are "a little better" than someone else. How in the world, a company can build teamwork with such evidence that does not support managing a team?

And I saw some smart managers prepare their organization "upside down" with the people who work at the top and benches. The aim is to demonstrate that management work is to work for employees and give them what they need to serve customers. This is a great idea, but not yet adequately defined the roles and relationships between teams.

Instead, consider an organization as a set of concentric circles. Organized in this way, the company is seen as a "team" of equipment really. In concentric circles, one can see that each team is part of another team. For example, the customer service team may be part of the operations team, which is part of the whole enterprise is run by the management team. "S Management Team work is" seeing the big picture "and the objectives set for the business. Other teams are responsible for determining" how "to achieve the objectives of the company as evidenced by his" team goals ".

Although the letter is nothing more than a piece of paper, has tremendous power to define the culture of a society. For companies that want real teamwork, a "team of teams" card can be an excellent start. And particularly effective as the next step, consider converting your individual bonus program a compensation plan as a team.

In a true team culture, people feel they are part of something special. Once individualism is off, people are much more likely to participate on their computers instead of trying to grab more for themselves. And best of all, the best team will begin to make the results of the company.

Building a culture like this requires frames humble "lead by example" for an extended period. But it can be a secret weapon against competitors that have "top down" cultures of the people doing the minimum to avoid problems. As your business continues to stand above the rest, competitors will wonder what you're doing!
