4 Ways to Successful Team Building

Employees with team spirit feel more appreciated, work together better and are more productive.

“My observation has been, is, and always will be, that you can’t have an organization that consistently delivers innovations unless you have a high level of engagement

and high level of trust. People just won’t take risks."

4 Ways to Build Successful Teams

four key guiding thoughts that can materially improve your odds of

team building success:

1. Hire Highly Effective Team

Members . Conant looks for the 4

C’s: competence, character, courage, and collaboration.

2. Focus on Inspiring Trust . He calls this the single most important

challenge, noting Steven Covey says

in his book, The Speed of Trust , “It

is the one thing that changes everything.” Over time, Conant has

found that trust, based on competence and character, trumps

all other attributes.

3. Encourage Candor. It’s important that teams acknowledges mistakes and celebrate progress in a timely

way.

4. Be Clear About Expectations. The greater the clarity of the mission, the greater the odds of success. Bottom line, Conant believes, “If you fully leverage these four guiding thoughts, you

may not build the next-generation space shuttle, but you will most assuredly see your teams soar to new heights.”
