Dear Mrs. Joy,
As a consultant of your company, I’m writing this letter to advise you for improving the profitability of your organization. First, I want to explain what team is and the purpose of a team. Work team is a group of employees that works semi autonomously on recurring tasks. Work teams are most useful where job content changes frequently and employees with limited skills and a specific set of duties are unable to cope. The purpose of creating teams is to provide a framework that will increase the ability of employees to participate in planning, problem-solving, and decision-making to better serve customers. The benefits of team in organizations and business are Enhanced Opportunity: Teams offer people a way to accomplish something they wouldn’t be able to do by themselves. Greater Productivity: Teams consisting of people fully operating out of their various gifts, talents, and strengths toward a common goal, instead of trying to mitigate their individual weaknesses, are able to accomplish much more than set of individuals acting alone. More Safety and Accountability: Teams provide strength in numbers, increase opportunities for cross-training, and promote mutual accountability, offering stability to organizations in times of distress or change, and keeping checks and balances in place. More Creativity and Innovation: Teams enable individuals to build upon one another’s ideas to create solutions that go beyond one person’s limited vision of possibilities. Greater Joy and Satisfaction among Team Members: Teams offer a space for people to be social as they work, thereby finding greater enjoyment of the task and the joy that comes from being in real relationship. Better Information Processing: Teams potentially have more information (because of the knowledge of each member) and should be able to process it better that individuals. Broader Perspective: Modern challenges are awfully complex, and so teams bring together multiple perspectives and insights into how to respond to those issues. Increased Representation: Teams allow multiple stakeholder groups to be represented, resulting in outcomes benefitting those groups, rather than just the most dominant group. Increased Equality: Teams level the proverbial playing field (at least somewhat) so that participants with lower status can more freely offer their ideas, knowledge, and concerns. More Dialogue: Teams offer a site where people can voice their feelings, disagreements, opinions, and ideas. Promotes Innovation – working in a team means working more creatively, bouncing ideas off each other and creating innovative and practical solutions to problems. When working in a team on a brainstorming exercise, people are usually more confident and come up with unique and creative ideas. Support Network – during the challenging times that face any business, team members will help and rely on each other for support and guidance. This enables them to focus on the goal, reduces the stress during difficult times and enables them to complete projects in an efficient manner. Enables Flexibility – team member who collaborate in the workplace are often cross-trained to cover for each other’s strengths and skills. Develops Leadership Qualities – whether the team has one specific member as team leader or whether the team leader changes depending on the task, all members of the team will be encouraged to enhance and deploy their own leadership qualities from time to time. Improves Service – the benefits of teamwork are not just limited to the workplace – it also improves the service provided to customers. Teams that work well together result in an organization with happy employees and most people and business prefer to do business with organizations whose employees have a strong work ethic and team spirit. As a leader of your team, you need to realize that each team member plays a role in your company and each individual is part of the whole. If you want to work effectively your team must be harmonious. These are the points of how to build an effective team. Build trust and respect – The captain needs the trust of his team, because people follow trust and integrity, not a person. Uncertainty can be balanced by trust which gives the team the ability to work together no matter what reality brings. Be true to your word – If you promise to do something, be sure you will fulfill it. When team members notice that you are a reliable person, they will emulate your behavior. Organize a meeting for all employees – If you want to improve teamwork, help people get to know each other better. Organize in-person meetings for all workers (all teams) at least once a year -- more often if at all possible. Take advantage of conflict – There are no teams exempt from occasional misunderstandings. Don't complicate the situation by deciding what is good or bad. Listen to all sides carefully and then talk to other team members who observed the quarrel. Make hiring a team effort – experience and suitable qualifications are important -- but the most important qualities to hire for are always personality and social skills that are compatible with your team.
