E070 Embrace Team Building

First 100 Words
The mention of teambuilding often elicits cynical groans and visions of silly, feel-good workshops, but teamwork doesn’t have to be a dirty word. Look around you and you’ll see that extraordinary achievement almost always involves a cooperative, cohesive group working closely together toward a mutual goal.

It’s an ongoing process in which every member of an organization plays a role. It may not be immediately apparent, but your own behavior has a significant impact on the level of teamwork in your organization . . .
