Recommendation

Many company leaders say that hiring the best people is the way to make teams run smoothly. However, cultivating a strong culture of teamwork is more complicated than that. Adam Bryant – chief executive of the leadership development firm Merryck & Co – asked 525 chief executives how they lead and, specifically, how they inculcate teamwork. He reported on the results in  his Corner Office column in The New York Times. While the advice seems obvious at times, these leaders’ insights about teams are digestible and applicable. getAbstract recommends this back-to-the-basics overview to new managers.

Take-Aways

  • Team members collaborate best when they have no more than three goals and they’re   up-front about their problems.
  • Team cohesion results from shared values and clear and consistent team goals.
  • Managers need to demonstrate respect.
