“It is literally true that you
can succeed best and
quickest by helping others
to succeed."
-Napoleon Hill

First of all we need to
know what is a TEAM???

Together Everyone Achieves More
“Communication + Co-Operation = Success”

• Two or more individuals with a
high degree of interdependence
geared toward the achievement of
a goal or the completion of a task.
• Teams make decisions, solve
problems, provide support,
accomplish missions, and plan
their work.
What is a Team?

• A group of people who share a
common name, mission, history,
set of goals or objectives and
expectations.
• A ‘team’s’ performance includes
both individual results and what
we call ‘collective work-products’.
• A ‘collective work-product’ is what
two or more members must work
on together….(It) reflects the joint,
real contribution of team
members.
Team

• Between 6 and 10 members
• Knowledgeable people from
all relevant departments
• A clear, documented
purpose
What makes a good team?

Mutual
Trust
Mutual
Support
Communications Team
Objective
Conflict
Resolution

An open, pleasant
environment
Well planned
and structured
meetings
The support of
superiors

• Goals and accomplishments are more
realized through a team effort
• A team offers both the leaders and
individuals support and
encouragement of one another
• A team by its very nature encourages
communication
Benefits of Good Team Building

• Problem solving becomes far more
effective because all team members
can offer ideas from their own
experience
• Since the team works closely
together and encourages
communication, there
is rarely a concern over conflicts

• Each member of team clearly
understands the objectives and
expectations of both the team and its
individual members.
• Within a well-built team, members
are motivated and inspired to achieve
goals and maintain high levels of
productivity

• Success within the team offers
opportunity for reward and
recognition on two levels, from both
individual and team accomplishments
• Team work encourages disciplined
work habits
• Team work and productivity go hand
in hand

• Workers must be selected to fit the
team as well as requisite job skills
• Some individuals are not compatible
with team work
• Some members may experience less
motivating jobs as part of a team
• Organization may resist change
Team Disadvantages

• Conflict may develop between team
members and other teams
• Team may be time-consuming due to
need for coordination and consensus
• Team can stymie creativity and inhibit
goo decision if “group think”
becomes prevalent
Team Disadvantages

• Evaluation and rewards may be
perceived as lees powerful
• Less flexibility may be experienced in
personal replacement or transfer
• “Free-riding” within the team may
occur
Team Disadvantages

• Problem Solving teams: members share ideas or offer suggestions on how work processes and
methods can be improved; although they rarely have the authority to unilaterally implement any
of their suggested actions
• Self managed Teams: are groups of employees who perform highly interdependent tasks and
take on many of the responsibilities of their former supervisors
• Cross functional teams: employees from the same hierarchical level, but from different work
areas, who come together to accomplish a task
• Virtual Teams: teams that use computer technology to tie together physically dispersed members
in order to achieve a common goal
Types of Teams

Teamwork

Teamwork is the fuel that
allows common people to
attain uncommon results.
- Andrew Carnegie

• A team is defined as a group (a collection of people) who interact to
achieve a common goal, but an effective, well-functioning team is
much more than this.
• Participants in an effective team care about the group's well-being.
They skilfully combine appropriate individual talents with a positive
team spirit to achieve results.
• Regardless of whether the program effort is that of an individual,
several individuals or the entire county office unit, a climate of
teamwork can exist.
Teamwork .... What Is It?

• A variety of working relationships exist among staff. You might view
these relationships as dimensions (levels) of involvement or as a
continuum of relationships among agents. As you move along the
continuum, the degree of communication, integration and
commitment seems to increase.
• Greater interpersonal skills are necessary if you are to work together
effectively at more complex levels. As your skills develop, more
options become available to you regarding the dimension of
involvement which you might select for any particular program effort.
Teamwork .... What Is It?

Collaboration :
• Communicate and share ideas
• Have a feeling of respect
for each team member’s
contribution
Elements of Teamwork in the Workplace

Conflict Resolution :
• Leaving room for everyone’s
contributions
• Developing the ability to listen
to all ideas
• Creating a method of
consensus to develop a
solution the team can agree
on

Roles and Responsibilities :
• Responsibilities are distributed
fairly among the group
members
• Each member is assigned a part
of the task based on is role
within the group and his level
of expertise.

Differing Points of View :
• Good team creates solutions
that are manufactured from the
many different perspectives of
the individual group members
• It helps to see a situation from
several different angles, and
can create a solution that no
one individual could create on
his own.

How an individual problem
affects all the members of a
team…..
A short story on that…

Reaching out to our Team

One day, a little mouse living on a farm,
spied the farmer and his wife
opening a package. He was aghast to discover that
the package contained, not food, but a mouse trap.
The Mouse ran to the farmyard wearing everyone.
“There is a mouse trap in the house,
thee is a mouse trap in the house!”

The chicken raised his head and exclaimed,
“Mr. Mouse, I can tell you this trap is a grave
concern to you, but it has no consequence to me
and I cannot be bothered with it”

The mouse turned to the pig…
“I am so very sorry Mr. Mouse, but the trap is no
concern of mine either.”
The Mouse then turned to the bull…
“Sounds like you have a problem Mr. Mouse,
But not one that concerns me.”

That night the sound of a trap catching its prey was
heard throughout the house.
The farmer’s wife rushed to see what was caught.
In the darkness she could not see that it was a
venomous snake whose tail the trap had caught.
The snake bit the farmer’s wife.

The wife caught a bad fever and the farmer
knew the best way to treat a fever was with
chicken soup.
He took his hatchet to the farmyard to get the
soup’s main ingredient.

The wife got sticker, and friends visited her round
the clock.
The farmer had to feed them, so he butchered
the pig.

The farmer’s wife got worse and died. So many
friends and family came to her funeral that the
farmer had to slaughter the bull to feed them all.

So the next time we hear that one of our team-
mates is facing a problem and think does not
concern or affect us, let us remember this:

When anyone of our Team Members is in
trouble, WE ARE ALL AT RISK!

Now here is an another story
which tells us how a goal can be
achieved easily and effectively if
we work as a TEAM…

Good old lessons in teamwork from an age-old fable
The Tortoise And The Hare

Once upon a time a tortoise and a hare had an
argument about who was faster.
I’m the fastest
runner.
That’s not true.
The fastest runner is me!

They decided to settle the argument with a race.
They agreed on a route and started off the race.
Ok, let’s have
a race.
Fine!

The hare shot ahead and ran briskly for some time. Then seeing
that he was far ahead of the tortoise, he thought he'd sit under a
tree for some time and relax before continuing the race.
Poor guy! Even if I take a
nap, he could not catch up
with me.

He sat under the tree and soon fell asleep.

The tortoise plodding on overtook him and soon finished
the race, emerging as the undisputed champ.

The hare woke up and realized that he'd lost the race.

The moral of the story is that slow
and steady wins the race.
This is the version of the story that
we've all grown up with.

The story continues …

The hare was disappointed at losing the race and he did some soul-searching.
He realized that he'd lost the race only because he had been overconfident,
careless and lax. If he had not taken things for granted, there's no way the
tortoise could have beaten him.
Why did I
lose the
race?

So he challenged the tortoise to another race.
The tortoise agreed.
Can we have
another race?
Ok.

This time, the hare went all out and ran without stopping from start to finish.
He won by several miles.

The moral of the story?
• Fast and consistent will always beat the slow and steady. If you have
two people in your organization, one slow, methodical and reliable,
and the other fast and still reliable at what he does, the fast and
reliable chap will consistently climb the organizational ladder faster
than the slow, methodical chap.
• It's good to be slow and steady; but it's better to be fast
and reliable.

But the story doesn't end
here …

The tortoise did some thinking this time, and realized that there's
no way he can beat the hare in a race the way it was currently formatted.
How can I
can win the
hare?

He thought for a while, and then challenged the hare to another race,
but on a slightly different route.
The hare agreed.
Sure!
Can we have another
race? This time we’ll
go through a different
route.

They started off. In keeping with his self-made commitment to be consistently
fast, the hare took off and ran at top speed until he came to a broad river. The
finishing line was a couple of kilometres on the other side of the river.
Goal

The hare sat there wondering what to do. In the meantime the tortoise trundled
along, got into the river, swam to the opposite bank, continued walking and
finished the race.
What should I do?

• First identify your core competency and then change the playing field
to suit your core competency.
• In an organization, if you are a good speaker, make sure you create
opportunities to give presentations that enable the senior
management to notice you.
• If your strength is analysis, make sure you do some sort of research,
make a report and send it upstairs.
• Working to your strengths will not only get you noticed, but will also
create opportunities for growth and advancement.

The story still hasn't
ended …

The hare and the tortoise, by this time, had become pretty good friends and
they did some thinking together. Both realized that the last race could have
been run much better.

So they decided to do the last race again, but to run as a team this time.
Hi, buddy. How
about doing our last
race again?
Great! I think we could
do it much better, if
we two help each
other.

They started off, and this time the hare carried the tortoise till the riverbank.
Goal

There, the tortoise took over and swam across with the hare on his back.
Goal

On the opposite bank, the hare again carried the tortoise and they reached
the finishing line together. They both felt a greater sense of satisfaction
than they'd felt earlier.

• It's good to be individually brilliant and to have strong core
competencies; but unless you're able to work in a team and harness
each other's core competencies, you'll always perform below par
because there will always be situations at which you'll do poorly and
someone else does well.
• Teamwork is mainly about situational leadership, letting the person
with the relevant core competency for a situation take leadership.

There are more lessons to be learnt from
this story.
• Note that neither the hare nor the tortoise gave up after failures. The hare
decided to work harder and put in more effort after his failure. The tortoise
changed his strategy because he was already working as hard as he could.
• In life, when faced with failure, sometimes it is appropriate to work harder
and put in more effort. Sometimes it is appropriate to change strategy and
try something different. And sometimes it is appropriate to do both.
• The hare and the tortoise also learnt another vital lesson. When we stop
competing against a rival and instead start competing against the situation,
we perform far better.

• Members have a clear goal
• The focus is on achieving results
• There is a plan for achieving the goal
• Members have clear roles
• Members are committed to the goal
• Members are competent
• They achieve decisions through consensus
• There is diversity among team members
• Members have effective interpersonal skills
• They know each other well and have good relationships
