Ever play that game where you are tied to a bunch of people and you have to perform a task or reach a goal together? Or capture the flag at the top of the “impossible for one person to climb” Totem pole game in which the only way to reach the top was to stand on each other’s shoulders? It’s a difficult thing to get a team to successfully work together.
There needs to be a clear understanding of not only the goal or target of the team but the strategy or path the group wishes to follow to completion. Each person may have a slightly different view of what the goal is or what the process to achieve it looks like. And then there is the difficulty of perception versus reality. What we think we know about each other and our goals and processes may be very different than what really exists.
Given all these intricacies and complexities, you begin to wonder whether it is possible for a team to work together at all. However, we know that some teams do work and gets results.
