Team players make it to the top
Sally Vanson, MD of The Performance Solution believes that building teamwork is the way forward for companies in today's economic climate. TPS specialize in providing organizations with a full consultancy and teamwork package tailored to meet objectives, Sally strongly believes that 'Consulting is not just about diagnosing problems, but its about implementing change and needs of different people with many different skills.'
An organisations success falls back to the employees of the organisation who look for different factors in the work place to stay happy and motivated. Teamwork helps promote discipline, respect and helps employees recognise the opportunity to grow and develop with access to reasonable leadership to follow suit.
Susan M. Heathfield (About.com, 2006) identifies four qualities that every employee wants;
1. Respect of every employee through praise and feedback
2. Accepted as part of the group which means having full
access to information as quickly as anyone else
3. The opportunity to learn new skills, grow their
knowledge and careers
4. Leadership -allowing their aspirations to sensibly
flourish
All of the above four factors allows an employee to feel a sense of belonging in the organisation as well as a sense of direction and to know that they are not going to be held back. Employees like to know that someone trustworthy is in charge which unconsciously develops an enhanced working environment.
After having worked within several organisations on a consultancy basis TPS have identified areas that are key to a building successful teamwork:
1. Defined roles and responsibilities within the work force
2. Identified work based objectives
3. Communication and team rules
4. Decision-making process
5. Training needs of individuals met
6. Strong team leadership
