Don’t think of your organization as a company – think of it
as a team.
On a sports team, each and every individual has a specific
assignment and an important role to play. If one team member is down, the rest
of the team will rally to help. The team’s achievements are everyone’s
achievements – and that’s how it should be in a company, as well.
A team is a single organism made up of a lot of small,
integral parts - and it is the same with a company. Every single team member
should understand how the parts work together to make a whole, and, similarly,
every team member should be invested in the success of the team. Just as
hogging the ball is frowned upon in sports, so should hogging the credit in
work.
A team is greater than the sum of its parts. When a team
works together, that’s when great things happen. In fact, it is ONLY when a
team works together seamlessly that it can achieve its full potential.
When you think of your organization as a team, it helps to
unlock that potential so that your company can achieve great things.
