Great Team Tips!

I have spent most of my working life in teams; some great teams, some not so great teams and based on both my personal experience, and the research I have read, I have come to the conclusion that great teams have the following characteristics...

1. A clear and shared mission and sense of purpose;

2. Acceptance and understanding of each others strengths and weaknesses;

3. Perception and understanding of the issues the team faces;

4. Total commitment to working together to achieve more;

5. Pride in the teams work, achievements and success;

6. Focus and clarity of purpose;

7. Resilience in the face of difficulties and setbacks;
8. An ability to enjoy work, laugh and have fun together.

Do you work in a great team?
