A better way

Teams are one of the most basic, common and important work systems. And usually, teams are mostly just winging it. This lack of attending to the system of being a team can result in low sense of trust, commitment, confusion in decision making, tense relationships, poor goal attainment and other issues.

Typically, when we want to work on developing good teamwork, we first identify the team and then teach and coach those team members on team capabilities.

How can we build a vision, commit with care, achieve goals and trust together with others if we don’t yet have an awareness of how we relate these elements within ourselves?

We are stronger together, yes. And the ability to leverage the interconnected fabric of teamwork is buttressed only by how much awareness, emotional intelligence and interpersonal skill we have developed as an individual.
