Workin' Together Creates Teamwork
I'm a piano player, and someone sent me this video, which I enjoyed watching.
As I watched it, not only as a musician, but as someone training and leading an organization, I realized that it could also be a demonstration of teamwork. Whether you're playing the bottom of the piano or the top, you have to be aware of what the other is doing so you can be in sync or rhythm together. In much the same way, developing teamwork within your organization is like that, and provides rewards in several different ways.
1. If everyone is focused on the same goal, good things happen. Everyone is on the same page.
2. The relationship of each one's efforts to the overall effectiveness of the team or organization becomes apparent.
3. A sense of community or belonging is created.
Every one brings different strengths and qualities to the table. As leaders of our organizations, the relationships, training and example we set will determine our success. True, attaining that synergy is sometimes like "herding cats" as Jim Rohn once said. But if you can accomplish it, it's a beautiful thing.
