Teamwork from surviving to thriving
How can we improve teamwork and employee engagement to achieve better results despite these challenges?
I've been hearing from leaders across various organizations that employees are feeling increasingly disengaged, demotivated, and disconnected, which is impacting business results. Understanding the reasons behind this trend is crucial.
Many organizations have shifted to hybrid work models to adapt to operational demands, leading to ongoing changes. These changes pose challenges for teams, making it harder to communicate effectively, access resources equally, balance work and life, and maintain team cohesion.
It's essential to recognize that teamwork is a continuous process. It doesn't reach its full potential without the collective effort of the team and the right tools. This effort propels a team from merely surviving to thrive.
Recently, I've been closely collaborating with teams, using The Five Behaviors of a Cohesive Team framework. This program, inspired by Patrick Lencioni's renowned book "The Five Dysfunctions of a Team," is dedicated to helping teams like yours become more effective, productive, and unified.
Let me share a recent experience working with a team facing significant challenges: They were grappling with getting things back on track. Their energy drained, their trust levels plummeted, and they hesitated to express their thoughts. It felt like they had hit a wall, unsure of the way forward.
When we conducted the assessment, the results highlighted issues clearly and directly, fostered candid conversations, and motivated change. They were able to identify and break free from patterns hindering their progress.
I often remind leaders that while results matter, building a solid foundation based on trust, conflict resolution, commitment, and accountability is equally crucial. Results naturally follow.
Let's explore how The Five Behaviors framework can contribute to your team's success.
