Team Building
Ensuring Team Goals are Met
Being a part of a large organization or a small focused team requires high levels of personal accountability to ensure that the goals of the team are met. Some teams work in a highly competitive environment to meet sales goals or product releases, while others may be more collaborative in reaching their goals. Either way, the success of the team is usually more important than the success of the individual.
The most successful teams take stock of their collective resource of human skills and assign tasks among the team for the best fit. This kind of teamwork requires being actively involved in frequently checking their own thinking and perceptions, asking to review additional information, and seeking feedback as they go along.
Both personal accountability and team accountability often requires members to put in additional time and effort even when there are no obvious rewards for doing it.
