Team Up

Good morning,

Happy Friday! Do you ever have one of those weeks where you look back and wonder how it all got done? There’s a one-word answer that can make all the difference.

Teamwork.

It’s amazing how productive a few people can be when they’re all working together to help each other succeed. The icing on the cupcake is that collaborating is not only more productive, it’s more fun.

Here are three little tips to facilitate successful teamwork:

1. Communicate. It’s almost impossible to over-communicate. On the other hand, insufficient communication can bring down a team. Provide clear, detailed instructions. Keep fellow team members informed. And make a habit of saying please and thank you to everyone, yes everyone.

2. Initiate. Don’t wait to be told. Don’t assume someone else is going to do it. Take the initiative to contribute wherever possible, while holding yourself accountable for finishing whatever you start.

3. Appreciate. Every team member has unique qualities. By encouraging each other’s strengths and appreciating each other’s efforts, we make our teams even stronger.

Best of all, working as a team means winning as a team and the joy of getting to celebrate together.

Go team – and have a sunny day!
