TEAMWORK

** To make teamwork happen, these powerful actions must occur.
 * Create a Culture of Teamwork

**Leaders communicate the clear expectation that teamwork and collaboration are expected.** No one completely owns a work area or process all by himself. People who own work processes and positions are open and receptive to ideas and input from others on the team.


 * Model teamwork in your interaction with each other and the rest of the team. ** They maintain teamwork even when things are going wrong and the temptation is to slip back into former team unfriendly behavior.
 * Team members talk about and identify the value of a teamwork culture. ** If values are formally written and shared, teamwork is one of the key five or six.
 * Teamwork is rewarded and recognized. ** The lone ranger, even if she is an excellent producer, is valued less than the person who achieves results with others in teamwork. Compensation, bonuses, and rewards depend on collaborative practices as much as individual contribution and achievement.
 * Important stories and folklore that people discuss within the team emphasize teamwork. ** (Remember the year the capsule team reduced scrap by 20 percent?) People who “do well” and are promoted within the company are team players.
