Mike Keading, on LinkedIn wrote the following about teamwork:
Wouldn’t it be nice to work in an environment where employees:
– collaborated
– divided up tasks
– gave constructive feedback
– brainstormed new ideas
– contributed to conversations
– exchanged disagreements- shared the same values, goals and visions
– trusted, respected, supported, and cooperated with one another
Ultimately, everything listed above is in term the definition of teamwork. Teamwork has proven to lead to overarching success of any business. Why? Because, when people work together, compared to one person working alone, they produce great results.
“Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much.” Helen Keller
Which leads to the conversation of having a strong team. Having a strong team isn’t something that inspires on its own. It’s something needs to be cultivated into the workplace. When employees are treated as individuals and open communication is celebrated, good teamwork will naturally occur when there is a healthy workplace culture.
