We hereby declare you a “Team”
This is literally how most teams are put together in an organisation.
🟡We hire people for their skills
🟡And then hope that they perform well together
The new team and team leader are expected to ” figure out” how to work well as a team.
Sometimes we throw in a couple of team-building days to help them along.
And sure that may help BUT it is rarely enough.
In most scenarios this is what happens:
🔵 The loud extroverts shine
🔵 The quiet ones go into their shell
🔵 Some get overwhelmed. Most get disengaged
At the least, the team is unable to fully utilize its potential.
At its worst, it fails miserably
And it is no wonder that so many new teams fail. Because there are many aspects that need to fall in place besides skills for a team to thrive.
1. A clear and compelling shared purpose and well-defined goals
2. A secure leader with a clear leadership vision
3. Well-defined processes and systems
4. Deep understanding of stakeholder needs
5. Open and honest communication and psychological safety among team members
A simple enough list but not always easy to execute
hashtagTeamcoaching helps new teams move quickly from forming to performing.
And old teams to recharge, stay relevant and become future-ready.
