Essential Teamwork – We need each other

We need each other. We are better together

Six essentials of teamwork

• We are incomplete, insufficient and ineffective alone – “I can’t do it alone”

• There is synergy in coming together – “I need your help. We need each other”

• Lack of unity often represents differences in personality, preference and philosophy – “I disagree, here’s why. What do you think? How can we make this work?”

• To be unified we must align ourselves with a single mission – “What is our mission? How does __________ fit with our mission?”

• To be unified we must let go of non-essentials, compromise and collaborate – “What will bring the greatest good to our team and our organization?”

• How we interact with and treat each other will either build or destroy trust, encourage or discourage each other and either advance or hinder both our unity and our mission – “Thank you for being a part of this team. How can I serve you?”

Also one extra: Forgiveness and grace have to be our modus operandi in light of the many mistakes and miscommunications that most assuredly will take place when many different people are involved.
