A high-performing workplace is based on synergy and teamwork. The key isn’t just bringing together the right individuals, but also providing them with the environment as well as the tools and leadership that will keep them working effortlessly.
Synergy can be improved by clearly defining roles and responsibilities of individuals within an organization. This reduces confusion and makes sure that each person on the team has a distinct yet essential part in the overall project. It is also important to create a culture where team members are able to freely share resources without feeling threatened. When team members can freely ask for help from others or offer assistance with something that’s not within their capabilities it’s an indication of an extremely cohesive and collaborative team.
In addition the high level of synergy usually results in an effective team with lower turnover and better productivity. In addition such a high-performance environment is great for morale.
Viewing synergy as an unalloyed good can blind managers to the potential negative knock-on effects. They try to promote collaborative efforts as a model to be emulated throughout the company. This can take management resources and time from other issues.
Regular meetings and feedback mechanisms are crucial to keep the team on track and motivated. This keeps everyone informed of the team’s progress and allows the team to come up with new ideas whenever they’re needed.
