Help your team value collective success

The previous 2 Minute Tip discussed 6 reasons your teammates are focused on personal results rather than team results. Let’s talk about how to change that.

In our 5 Behaviors of A Cohesive Team workshop, we teach leaders ways to help a team value collective success more than individual achievement.

One of the more popular methods is to pre-announce team rewards for achieving a collective goal.  

You may already celebrate team victories with a group outing, prize, or bragging rights, but do you lay out in advance what the group reward will be and do you remind people along the way of progress towards that collective reward?

The reward doesn’t have to be expensive to create camaraderie and help people focus on team objectives rather than personal advancement.
