6 Opportunities From Effective Team Working

We all understand conceptually that a team working effectively can deliver great results. So what are six big opportunities from effective team working?

Opportunity 1: Access to skills

You or I might be talented at what we do. On the other hand, we all probably recognise that there are things that we don’t do so well. Team working allows us to mix our greatest skills with the greatest skills of others.

Opportunity 2: Build support

Even the most upbeat of us needs the support of others from time to time. When a team commits to supporting each others, it is a win-win outcome.

Opportunity 3: Greater creativity

To thrive and prosper these days, organisations need to continually innovate. A team of people working together not only generate more ideas but also build on each other’s ideas. It is much easier to build on others’ ideas than to start with a blank canvas.

Opportunity 4: Better problem solving

You might have heard the term ‘a problem shared is a problem halved’. The essence of this statement is that, if you have more people thinking about solutions to problems or challenges, you will get a more optimal result.

Opportunity 5: Increased motivation

I don’t know about you but I find that every time I am part of a well motivated team it rubs off on me. The energy of the team really increases motivation.

Opportunity 6: Professional and personal development

Organisations often say that there are no resources available to develop staff. Providing people with the opportunity to be part and parcel of a small solutions focussed team can present a golden opportunity for professional and personal development.

The Bottom Line

Team working is not just good for morale but also for business results. So what opportunities could you seize to create better team results?

يواجه سكان مدينة جدة في المملكة العربية السعودية مشكلة عزلة بسبب تصميم الطرق ونظام النقل في المدينة. يوجد في جدة شبكة طرق قديمة وضيقة لا تستوعب زيادة المركبات وتسبب ازدحامًا شديدًا في الطرق وتعطيل حركة المرور. بسبب هذه المشكلة، تعاني المدينة من مشاكل في الوصول إلى المرافق العامة والتجارية وزيادة التلوث الصوتي والهوائي. لحل هذه المشكلة، تم إطلاق عدة مشاريع لتحسين النقل العام وتنظيم الطرق وخلق مركز مديني متكامل يوفر وسائل النقل العمومي والتجارة والخدمات للسكان. ومن المتوقع أن تساهم هذه المشاريع في تحسين جودة الحياة في جدة وزيادة الوصول السهل إلى المرافق العامة والخدمات.
