Today’s Harvard Business Review Management Tip of the Day is a really good one! The Three Characteristics of a Real Team makes an excellent point, and I think the words ‘real team’ are the key to understanding that point. Teams are common in today’s business environment and the synergy that teams are supposed to produce can have great value. The most effective teams are more than just a group of individuals working together with complementary skills to complete a task. The members should support each other, inspire each other and as HBR points out they hold each other accountable. What’s your team experience, and what could you do to make your next team experience better?
Interested in this topic? I also recommend the book The Five Dysfunctions of a Team by Patrick Lencioni. It’s written in story format with some very interesting characters that I think most people can relate to – maybe even see ourselves as. Certainly provides some food for thought!
