Building An Effective Team
Great teams don’t just happen by chance; there are key ingredients that go into building an effective team.
Whether it is a team you are building from scratch, or one you have inherited you’ll get all the results based on how well they function as a team.
When you have a group of people working together on a common outcome they will always go through the team developmental stages of forming, storming, norming and performing. While you can just let it happen naturally, what it matures into may not be the best for the person, the organisation and ultimately the customer.
The best place to start is “what is best for the customer”. To achieve this you need to
align the thinking and actions of the team to create the best customer experience, possible, which in turn creates the best financial outcome possible for your organisation.
There are three areas to focus on;
-
The aligning/connecting of the team members thinking/actions to the organisation’s business plan.
-
The need for each team member to understand their own Natural Working Style, how it interacts with other team members and how it contributes to the team’s ultimate success.
-
Identify and align the appropriate workflows across the individual, the team and the organisation to create the best customer experience possible.
The success of any intervention is dependent on the people owning it. Traditional interventions centre on an external “expert” telling the team what to do and there may be little long term uptake/ownership by the team. The best results are created by developing knowledge, skills and competencies within the team.
