Confidence Connections Building Great Cohesive and Successful Teams
Effective teamwork is the universal bedrock for organizational success. Effective teamwork can only be generated from a cohesive team and brings extraordinary value, creativity, and productivity to an organization. Such teamwork is rare. Effective teams are cohesive teams. Cohesive teams have particular attributes that can be learned
How do you know if you have a cohesive team?

• Your team members are fully committed to that goal
• Your team works together
• Your team is focused on their strategic objectives in support of the organization
• You have trust, focus, accountability and harmony
• You look forward to team meetings
• Team members like and respect one another
• Team members hold each other and you accountable for the company goal and strategic outcomes
• Wasteful activities and spending are kept to a minimum
• Team members who don’t fit have left of their own accord
How do you know when you don’t have a cohesive team?
• Team members are frustrated and angry at one another
• The team is fighting over budgets, direction, or focus
