I can compare my work environment with these characteristics. Communication, collaboration, respect, and working procedures, are the most dominant characteristics that are comparable to myself. Communication is much needed, when not in affect the whole restaurant seems to fall apart. When communication is used all employees are able to take charge of their task and leadership would be nothing without communication. Collaboration is needed for everyone to work as a team and be consistent. All these characteristics would be nothing without the leader communicating the working procedures with the team.
ReplyDeleteI agree with this video, especially the part about building a team that other would like to be part of. At work, I work with Mortgage Specialist and Investment Specialist. Our specialists are mobile and they work with 12 branches. If my clients need a mortgage or want to switch their investment to RBC, I have to rely on them to close my deals. This can only work if we have open communication, trust and mutual respect. This leads to great collaboration and produces great results.
ReplyDeleteI agree that trust is a vital factor of becoming a high performance team. Trust would help group member complete the project more efficiently. In addition, each team member has an opportunity to take leadership positions in their areas of expertise.
ReplyDeleteI think the diverse culture background sometimes would lead to misunderstanding. Try to understand their culture and respect it, it would absolutely help group members comfort conflict.
