Teamwork
Right tools, right people, and right practices
Why teamwork matters
Teamwork has never been more important than it is today. Did you know that 90% of companies report they are working on projects so complex that only teams of people working together will be able to solve them? The days of the lone genius are long gone, now productivity and innovation lie in the hands of skilled teams that can effectively collaborate to create the future.
What is teamwork?
Teamwork is what happens when the right people come together with the set of practices and tools they need to achieve a common goal, be that launching a new product, starting a political movement, or serving a delicious meal. Or, if we were to break it down into a formula:
Teamwork = the right tools + the right people + the right practices
Effective teamwork is everyone's shared responsibility, from CEOs and managers to individual team members. When companies can define what teamwork means to them, emphasize it's importance, and put it into practice, company culture changes from the inside out.
