What the Greatest Teams Have …
The greatest teams have certain things going on that make them great.
There is no team without what I call 'A Reason'. Some call this a vision. The word vision might seem a little too much for some team functions. But every team must have 'A Reason' for existing. What is your purpose?
There is no team without a 'Team Leader'. About 15 years ago companies experimented with the concept of what they called 'Self-managed Teams' - it failed! A team will never work at its maximum ability without a Team Leader - leadership is essential. A leadership that can adopt a style suitable for any given moment of the day - coaching, directive, consultative, listening and developmental.
Of course, needless to say, a Team is not a team without 'Team members'...
