When forming a workforce within a company, it is necessary to recruit people who meet the technical capabilities to perform the task in the best possible way. However, soft skills such as empathy, communication, interpersonal relationships, etc, can’t be ignored.
These skills are what make the biggest difference between work teams, not only because their quality increases, but because a good team brings many benefits at the social level.
Promote fellowship
Teams that work together seek group solutions, where everyone’s voice is taken into account and create a calm, fun and stress-free environment.
In addition, having a workplace where you can feel comfortable, next to colleagues with whom a friendship has been forged, makes the work less heavy. Any business leader should prioritize teamwork, since this is one of the reasons why employees decide to commit to a company.
Empowerment, respect and responsability
Positive teams train people to be humble, proactive, respectful and responsible. By being treated with respect, people are motivated to commit to their work.
It is important that the toxic competitive spirit, selfishness and sense of greatness be set aside. In a team, everyone is equal, even if they exercise different roles. Even the leaders, despite guiding and maintaining an order, cannot lose this horizon.
Flexibility
United groups with clear goals, know how to respond more effectively to changes in the market and / or threats, which reduces the possible impacts in times of crisis.
It is also influenced by the fact that a strong group is open to alternative and innovative ideas, which could make the company stand out.
And so… how can I build a good team?
Getting a solid and durable work team is relatively simple, with constancy, effort and a positive attitude:
- Encourage good communication: clear and honest. It is also good to retake face-to-face interactions, since they are more personal
- Learn from mistakes, do not rebuke: mistakes are part of the process and it is better to learn from them, rather than making them a taboo
Promote team building activities: they can be retreats, tours, creative meetings, etc., so that the members of the group know each other outside the work environment.
In short, good teamwork (or bad) marks a company. It is vital to ensure a friendly environment, to increase production and solidarity and thus avoid fatigue and stress.
