Whatever we are called to do, the best plan is usually to do it with others. As is often said, such a approach may not be the quickest or easiest, but it will take you the furthest and ultimately bring the best results.
It is very rare for a team of people to operate in a highly effective manner by accident. The important question is, what does a team need to work well?
Here is what James Lawrence believes teams need:
- Common purpose
- Reason for cooperation
- Roles and division of labour
- Strategy for cooperation
- Accepted leadership
- Structure for cooperation
- Effective plans and methods
- Process of cooperation
- Solid relationships
- Climate for cooperation
- Excellent communication
- Means of cooperation
