Although Teamwork and Team
Building sound cliché, creating highly effective teams is
easier today than ever imagined.
Begin with the obvious.
What is "teamwork"?
Teamwork is the sum of individual efforts
working cooperatively toward a shared common goal.
Based on this definition,
we need to consider if we actually have what’s commonly
referred to as “a team”. In taking an objective look
at the internal dynamics, most companies have “groups” of
individuals often working from personal agendas that are
frequently not aligned with the true mission of the
company. These are not, by definitions, "teams".
Based on this definition, most sales "teams" definitely
are not by any stretch of the imagination "teams" at all,
but rather “groups” of individuals working from personal
agendas.
Building a winning team
is more than just hiring talented people.
It begins with
a solid strategic plan and developing a shared vision and
commitment. Building a winning team means creating
an environment where talented people work together and
engage in positive, informal interactions.
People want to do
exceptional work and feel exceptional about the work they
do!
Building this
winning team building attitude should be an integral part
of your business. It's achieved by first developing
a strategic plan and mission, then effectively
communicating this vision to your team members. You
not only have to know where you're going and how you're
going to get there, you also need to effectively
communicate this to your team.
