Believe it or not, our employees really do want the opportunity to be part of a successful team. Acting as a member of an effective team gives individuals a sense of pride and accomplishment. There’s something to be said for working with a team instead of alone.
There are bonuses to being part of a team as well. Most people want to be part of a team because they are faced with new opportunities. Some of these opportunities include:
- The chance to do things that make them feel good about themselves
- The opportunity to accomplish something they feel is worthwhile
- The opportunity to learn new things or develop new work skills
- The freedom to do the their work well
- The chance to do the things they love and do best
In the end, these criteria have a huge impact on the bottom line performance of any team. If the individual members don’t feel as though they have these “chances,” they will feel stuck and unmotivated.
Take a look at our dynamic team structure as it is today. Are the members of our team experiencing all of the above? If not, can we do anything to ensure they walk away feeling more fulfilled?
Think and Act !!!
