What makes for a great team culture?
Sort by:
Kaizen or continuous improvement in team efficiency, team coordination and team bonding.
To improve, you need to measure.
To measure, find out:
a) find the stories that people tell about your team
b) Evaluate & classify them into positive / negative/ neutral stories
c) Plan the corrective course of action.
As Michael Margolis rightly says, "Culture is a sum total of stories. To change the culture, change the stories".
A great team culture is fostered by trust, open communication, collaboration, shared goals, and a supportive environment that encourages individual growth and creativity.
A great team culture is in the eye of the beholder - great culture doesn't meant the same thing for every team member.
When I look back at the work experiences that facilitated the most growth in my career, the leadership & working team had these characteristics in common: transparency, engagement, willingness to make & communicate difficult decisions and passion.
Should have also added recognition in the list of characteristics!
Where everyone feels everyone belongs to that team. Simple!
The ability to think big and be able to collaborate to deliver great results with empowerment and accountability.
