When we work as a team in harmony, we reach our goals, even when they’re a big challenge to us. But what does it mean to “work as a team”? 1. Having the same goals. We need to be aligned on the goals. But to be in harmony we need to align on vision and missions as well as on purpose. Those elements aren’t so easy to communicate in any structure. 2. We need to have clearly defined tasks. 3. We need to have a good reporting and deadline engine. 4. We need to feel responsible. Every member of the team should have a sense of importance in our job, not just executing. 5. We need to support each other in what we do, even when that’s hard and not always so obvious, and even if we fail. 6. We need to learn from the failures of our team as well as our own and our partners. 7. We need to celebrate every milestones achieved and a big celebration when goals are met. 8. We need a good system of retribution for the team, so that everyone feels compensated right for their efforts. 9. We need to have a plan for the future after the goals are met. Which are the other things we need for a team to succeed?
