Other Added - Team Work - A Challenge of Character
One of the main factors which affects the performance of individuals at all levels within an organisation is the way in which the organisation itself develops and changes in time. Such changes are often closely related to a company’s growth but not necessarily; developments can clearly take place in an organisation which is not increasing in size as such.From analysis of the way in which many organisations have made growth over the years, it is possible to build up a picture of a number of principles of development, which the normal organisation will follow as it develops.These principles cannot be rigidly applied: every organisation is different, and different functions or areas of one company can be at different stages of development at one point in time. However, applied with flexibility, the principles are of value in i
What causes a team to fail? As the 3 musketeers once said 'one for all and all for one' When individuals come together to operate as a team it is critical that they have the hands-on support of management. Individuals need to learn to put aside differences and develop trust and believe that they will be rewarded as a team and individuals. Teams are not only about the team but about your employee’s individual’s contribution to the team - a fact overlooked to your peril.

Change is painful for you and your employees. What You Say, and How You Say It, Affects Bottom Line Quality
Unless you start doing “it” today, all the quality checks in the world won’t save your company from a major stumble. "It" is right speech. As a quality manager, I like to imagine that if everybody does their job and quality is high at every stage in the production process, I’ll enjoy a smooth operation and get satisfied customers as a result. But experience has taught me that a mean spirit can infect and poison the work place when people don’t watch what they say.Mean comments by coworkers about managers, snide asides about other employees, managers who gossip about recently terminated employees, supervisors who don’t communicate managements intentions, unnecessary secrets, and people who just won’t listen are all examples of “wrong speech.” When you take a few sturdy seeds of discontent here, and add a bit of angry manure over th
As people we are 'complex beings' It never ceases to amaze me how we often gravitate to negative ways of thinking about others when we ourselves (if we are honest) have just as many flaws and faults. We often find ourselves thinking about the glass half empty instead of the glass half full. Life and business can be a very positive experience.
Having been in the workforce for over 25 years have given me the opportunity to observe trends and over time see what works and what doesn't, and however more importantly why?
From junior clerk to CEO and President of businesses it is my opinion that there is nothing new under the sun.
Re-badged ideas and principals have been operating for centuries. From armies to seminaries we can observe and learn that humankind has arranged itself in team structures, some successful, some failures.
Take William Wallace, the plucky Scotsman who organised teams (bandits) against the English oppression.
From good to evil nations and people have banded together and achieved more than they could have alone. This is the key, that alone and as individuals we can achieve, however together we can exponentially achieve if we will pay the price of patience and time.
Good teams take time and patience to build!
Over the years the practice of teams in business has often come and gone. It is my observation that over the last 10 years there has been a profound shift in the fundamental way teams operate in that those that are successful appear to be made up of people who have developed a high level of trust in each other and have had a heart transformation in that they strive to live authentically, have a high level of self control and common sense.
We appear by nature to be suspicious and untrusting as individuals and this does not lend itself towards team building. The good news is that we can change!
What makes a good team? A good team is one where team members are allowed a great deal of autonomy. This is usually given as teams prove their trust to management by succeeding in small tasks and are subsequently and progressively delegated more responsibility.
Have you ever noticed that the clock seems to go faster when working cooperatively with other people? Have you ever noticed the creativity and learning that takes place between team members? The off-setting multi-skilling is fantastic for your business.

How does the world see you? It may not be the way you see yourself. Either way, it's time you find out!Recently I typed my own name into a series of search engines to see how well known I was.
