Perfect team in Venice

6 features of a perfect team

Let’s take inspiration from a text by Chuck Cohn, who makes a list of 5 characteristics of a good working team. We’re sure that there’s more about that… but now let’s list the 5 features Cohn found.

 

1. Vision

Every company has a mission, and a clear vision of it must be shared by everyone who works for the company. Each member of the team has to understand the goals of the company in order to work better and to feel part of the group.

 

2. Involvement

Personal involvement brings responsibility for what you do and pride for the results of your company. The employees who participate in the company’s goals are more likely to direct their efforts and energies to achieve them.

 

3. Collaboration

Collaboration means communication, free exchange of ideas, dialogue. A team isn’t about competitions between its members, it’s about being aware of the strong and the weak points of your colleagues and respecting them.

 

4. Diversity

A brainstorming between people with similar background may bring good fruits, but certainly one between very different people is more useful. Talking with people with different background will bring to your team fresh ideas and unexpected points of view.

 

5. Respect

Respect for each other is very important, because without it no one can feel free to express his ideas and suggestions during the team work. Also, if there’s a clear leader, he doesn’t have to oppress the others in order to impose his ideas.

 

What can we add to this list? In the last years we worked with many different teams and could observe their working habits before, during and after the Team Building activities. And what we discovered is that the key factor is…

 

6. Fun

Believe it or not, having fun is essential to a good team work! Your colleagues may or may not be your best friends, but a nice and relaxed atmosphere will certainly help you to work better. Positive vibes fill the air and you don’t mind about working hard or staying a little longer to finish your part. If you don’t believe us… take a look at our funniest activity, Lip Dub! Try it once with your coworkers… and your office will never be the same!
