  1. There’s No “I” in T.E.A.M.! Together Everyone Achieves More

  2. The Importance of Teamwork • Allows everyone to be a part of the whole group • More ideas are expressed • Work is completed faster • Produces a higher quality of work • Reduces confusion and chaos • Provides a structured environment

  3. Creating a Culture of Teamwork • Executive leaders communicate the clear expectation that teamwork and collaboration are expected. • No one completely owns a work area or process all by himself. • People who hold positions are open and receptive to ideas and input from others.

  4. Creating a Culture of Teamwork • Executives model teamwork in their interaction with each other and the rest of the organization. • They maintain teamwork even when things are going wrong and the temptation is to slip back into former behavior.

  5. Goals When Working on a Project… • Focus team on task • Always make sure every member of your team understands the team's assignment. • Assign each member of your team a specific task and a date for completion. • As a team member, you must be sure to complete your task on time. • When you finish your assignment, help other members of your team who might need assistance.

  6. Goals When Working on a Project… • If need be, you may re-organize teams to make the project flow more smoothly. • Learn the special talents of your team members and assign tasks accordingly. • Always try and encourage your team members and be sure that any criticism you give is constructive. • Encouragement and constructive criticism is a sure way to promote team work. • Summarize and clarify the team's decisions

  7. How to Accomplish These Goals • Stay neutral • Don't let the meeting run too long, even if it's going well (or people will try to avoid coming next time) • Express out loud what seems to be happening (e.g., "nobody seems to be saying much since Jenny suggested ... ") • Don't let snide comments, put downs, etc slide by without comment • After a person has been quiet for awhile, ask them for their opinion

  8. Conclusion • Teamwork is very beneficial when working within organizations • It is suggested that you implement the tips mentioned before to effectively run your organization • If you have anymore questions or suggestions, please call • Lakeisha Ferguson Director of Organizational Development 753-5970 or email at: saorgdev@niu.edu
