BUILDING HIGH PERFORMANCE TEAMS IN CORPORATES, SCHOOLS AND CHURCHES – THE NOAH’S ARK WAY

Leave a Comment / team building /

Great teams are not a product of merely assembling highly talented individuals. Individual talent brought together does not constitute a high performing team. This explains why some of the most talented sporting teams rarely win championships. There are a number of reasons why some of these teams fail to achieve much. One of the reasons is that the individuals feel that they are bigger than the team. The dream ought to be bigger than the team.

BUILDING WINNING TEAMS – CHARISMA

Leave a Comment / team building /

A leader’s personal charm and magnetism to attract, inspire and influence others towards the pursuit of higher goals and ideals is central to building winning teams. Great leaders have the ability to communicate the vision with passion as a way of convincing everyone to buy into it and run with such a set agenda. Appealing and focusing the energies of team members towards a common goal is demanded of every leader who desires to make a lasting impression on the team. This is never a matter of being extroverted or loud mouthed on the part of the leader as many might want to believe. Instead, it comes down to a collection of attributes that carry the necessary drive demanded in making things happen; qualities which can be acquired by anyone

BUILDING WINNING TEAMS THROUGH TEAM COHESION

Leave a Comment / team building /

I have seen those who bake cakes mixing the different ingredients in a mixer. The process takes time and when it’s done, the eggs cannot be separated from the sugar nor from the salt. The final product is so different from the individual ingredients that would have gotten into the cake making process. Anyone who has also tasted honey can concur that the flowers from which the pollen was drawn and the sweetness that honey is are worlds apart. In the same mold as the baking of cakes and the making of honey, team cohesiveness is the strength and interconnectedness of relations between team members that makes the team a unified whole. The constituent parts that make up the team cannot be untangled as the team functions as a unified unit with little, if any point where there is a weak link.

BUILDING WINNING TEAMS THROUGH COMMON GOALS

Leave a Comment / team building /

When the goal is not known, a lot of energy can be wasted in the pursuit of other agenda not in line with why the team exists in the first place. Great teams place a priority in building a common goal and communicating it to very member. In teams that have developed the habit of winning together, the WE is always bigger than the ME of each individual member. The emphasis on the WE comes from knowing the WHY of the team, which is addressed by the unifying force – the common goal. The existence of the common goal makes the entire team work towards the same thing.  It is challenging and frustrating to the team if each member feels that they are more important than the team or their personal agenda supersedes the team’s goal. The team should be seen for what it is – always bigger than the individual team members regardless of how talented the team member might be individually, cementing the fact that there is no I in a Team.

BUILDING WINNING TEAMS – THE EFFECT OF LEADERSHIP

Leave a Comment / team building /

Effective team leaders align a group of people towards a common purpose. It’s been said time without number that it rises and falls on leadership. Leaders are the unifying force that rally the team forward through the establishment of sound systems that act as a unifying force for the good of everyone. In many sporting teams, the coach is fired when the team fail to perform to the expected standards. In most case, in an interesting turn of events, positive results are realized upon the coming aboard of a new leader. This goes to show the effect that leadership has on the team.

A CULTURE OF COOPERATION – TEAMWORK WISDOM FROM THE WILDDOGS

Leave a Comment / team building /

Wild dogs may not be appealing physically but their cooperative order is a marvel of teamwork worth emulating. Everything that happens within and around the pack is a lesson that any team aspiring to greatness should take note of. In as much as each member of the pack is strong and uniquely talented, they know fully well that without others, they are highly vulnerable. It doesn’t matter how intelligent, talented or experienced a team member might be, nothing much is accomplished without others. The legendary football player, Pele, would say ‘No individual can win a game by himself.’ Pele was indeed a great footballer but he only became great because there were other players in the playing field.

INSPIRE AND MOTIVATE YOUR TEAM WITH NOAH’S ARK CONSULTANTS

In quality control, there is a concept called feed forward control. It essentially says if the input is correct, with all the systems and people in their rightful positions, the output tends to take care of itself. The other extreme is equally right, if the input is of poor quality there is little magic that can be performed to right the output. At the center of all production and service provision are the people who run the systems and drive everything forward. If the people are not firing from all cylinders, there is no guarantee the output will be good enough. The same principle of feed forward control applies to manpower in greater magnitude. Great teamwork is built from the point of entry. Getting it right from the recruitment process goes a long way in building up a formidable team. People are however exceptional in that even though they might have the knowhow, productivity can drop as a result of the goings on in the environment or other developments within the workplace that can water down their morale. The need for continuous motivation and inspiration cannot be ignored for long.
