Kevan Hall on Speed Management: Is There a Thing as Too Much Teamwork?
The Team Building Workshop–Chapter 2 “When to Do Team Building”AMA On-Site-Only WorkshopsTeam Building
Overview
The great Vince Lombardi once said, “Individual commitment to a group effort—that’s what makes a team work, a company work, a society work, a civilization work.” Great organizations know that by building high-performing teams they can leverage the skills and experiences of multiple professionals, resulting in more creative solutions than those reached by individuals acting alone.
Teamwork is both an individual skill and an attribute of a culture. It can be taught to individuals and cultivated throughout organizations. AMA’s series of Team Building Workshops help your company train intact teams in the use of tools and processes necessary for success in all stages of team building, from early development to ongoing assessment.
High-performing teams can provide your organization with:
- Reduced silo building and “turf” conflicts
- Greater innovation through multiple perspectives
- Higher quality decision making brought to bear on issues
- Shared commitment and help from one another
- Increased creativity through synergy between members
- Flexibility in changing conditions
