People like to work in an environment where they feel apart of something bigger than themselves. Highly successful companies are able to tap into that feeling by fostering a true team atmosphere. This starts with laying the foundation for trust and mutual respect among all of the employees and managers. There are 5 main steps that can set a company on the path of creating an effective team environment:
1) Set Clear Goals: A team without a goal is like a house without a frame.
2) Commitment and Competence: Make sure you have all the appropriate people and resources to complement the work.
3) Coordination and Control: Provide employees with enough freedom and empowerment to feel the ownership necessary to accomplish their goals.
4) Creative Innovation: Value creative thinking, unique solutions and new ideas while making all feel comfortable asking questions, expressing opinions and making suggestions.
5) Responsibility: Hold each member personally responsible and reward/recognition positive accomplishments.
