Teams: Putting the Pieces Together

Like epoxy glue that requires two parts to make it bond, your team may struggle with high performance unless you nurture two important things:

1) communication and good relationships, and

2) skills and abilities.

During the year, regularly participate in teambuilding that breaks down barriers and walls that inhibit social cohesiveness and cooperation. Also, take time to discuss and improve skills and abilities, strengths and limitations, and how well team members complement each other's roles. Is your team what you want it to be? If not, it might be missing something in the glue that binds it.
