The art of teamwork
Issue: what position should I occupy in a team in order to collaborate effectively with all members? Uses: good teamwork allows each person’s contributions and collaborations to be optimised, which influences the organisation’s productivity.Professional context: human resource management, teamwork, project management.FAQs:What are the characteristics of a professional team?What elements are favourable to the effective functioning of a team? Does the interdependence of tasks influence efficiency? Is there a model for evaluating team performance? Can a team’s performance be evaluated based on its results?Are the highest-performing team members the ones that get the best results? Is performance linked only to skills? Does the team have an impact on my personal identity?The group in which we work influences our individual performance at work. As each team develops their own dynamic, the individuals within it develop connections every day that form standards for expected behaviour and routines that should be respected. Beyond individual and collective skills, which are used to work towards a common goal, being effective requires identifying these operating codes and taking on different roles. This framework of collective standards puts a fairly strong pressure on your actions, by either cultivating or failing to cultivate your interpersonal comfort within the team. Although they are very present and influence the involvement of group members, these standards are unfortunately not always as explicit as we would like. Consequently, upon contact with a team, your challenge will be positioning yourself appropriately within it in order to fit into its particular dynamic.
Groups are like ships that cross the oceans. It is a matter of reaching the other shore by taking the good waves, by crossing storms and by making the most of the periods of calm following these two actions. Neglecting the characteristics and dynamics of the group could cancel out the efforts of your involvement at work. For this reason, we are suggesting that you spend 50 minutes discovering solutions that, we hope, will help you to define which position best suits you in order to experience a smooth crossing.
While researchers have been focused for a long time on what happens within groups in order to better understand the impact on individuals, today organisations (particularly for-profit organisations) are asking themselves questions about the performance of a group and the consequences of its actions on the company’s overall productivity. In fact, if we form teams, it is, among other reasons, because we are not experts in all subjects and we need other peoples’ skills in order to successfully complete a project. Teams are a way of mobilising a wide range of resources (similar or complementary) so as to achieve a common goal.
Beyond teams themselves, the context in which a team evolves and the environmental factors that influence its efficiency are also emphasised through advice and questions and answers. While the performance of teams plays a considerable role in the productivity of an organisation, the organisation’s environment in turn affects team results.
Effective teamwork: the basics
In order to fuel reflection on your effectiveness within a work team, we suggest that you reflect on your position according to these three approaches:
The individual approach: what are your personal comfort and effort zones in your personal functioning? The collective approach: what is your position within the team and your role in terms of functioning and relationships? The environmental approach: what are the logics which justify the actions underlying the dominant characteristics in your work environment?
