The creativity, vitality and cohesiveness of a team determine the combat effectiveness of the whole organization. So how to build and manage a high-performance team? Based on years of team management experience, this article believes that at least ten main points should be followed.
1. identify goals that everyone agrees with.
The goal is direction, the reason for team existence and the foundation of high performance. With the goal, let all members understand why they get together and what they are going to do.
This goal has two levels, one is the long-term goal of the company level, that is, the so-called mission and vision; the next is the short-term goal, that is, what to do in a year or a month. With the goal, team work can also be targeted and will not be shot at random.
2. make clear the behavior that everyone agrees.
Behavior is actually what we call "values". It is to tell a team member what is right, what is wrong, what is good and what is bad in the process of pursuing a goal. It is a moral rule that members must abide by. The reason is simple. Although a team has a common goal, if there are no highly consistent values, the action plan adopted in achieving the goal is different.
For example, in order to make money, some people think that they should get something for nothing, and some think it should be exchanged with sweat, so different values lead to different behaviors -- robbery, theft, greed and labor. Obviously, people like birds of a feather flock together, people of different values can hardly really work together! So the values are inconsistent and high performance is impossible. This is why the Red Army will have "three laws, eight principles" songs. Of course, if you do not agree with this principle, you must ask him to leave the team.
3. define the rules of the game for members.
The rule of game is to define members' responsibilities, responsibilities, rights and interests. Let every member know what his job is, what he should be responsible for, and let him know how much his rights are, and how to get his own benefits.
Defining the rules of the game is actually the beginning of scientific management, which avoids overstaffing and shuffling things so that everyone knows his position in the team and what he should do for the team. It's like "cars, horses, guns, soldiers, soldiers, soldiers and elephants" in Chinese chess. Everyone knows what he should do and what he can do.
4. leaders should set an example and repair their bodies.
When a team with common values and a clear division of labor has defined the direction, the next step is how to carry out specific work. Therefore, as a leader of the team, it is very important, because "the train runs fast depends on the front belt", because "a soldier will bear a bear." Therefore, leaders must set an example, take the lead in following the rules of the game and become an example of the team.
5. members must resolutely obey and enforce.
When leaders set an example, members must resolutely obey the orders and orders of direct superiors, and understand that they must be implemented, not understood and implemented. Only in this way can the team's intentions and combat effectiveness be implemented. This is why the new management emphasizes absolute obedience on the first day of their posts.
In fact, in team management, there are different responsibilities at different levels and different qualities. Therefore, once leaders make decisions, the subordinates must go all out! Because leaders are responsible for decision-making, while subordinates are responsible for implementation and operation. If subordinates are from their own perspective, it is easy to form selfish departmentalism, so that the whole team will be scattered everywhere.
6. do 1% things with 100% passion.
As we all know, any job has a lot of small things. So only by doing everything well can the whole project be successful. However, the same thing, different people to perform, or the same person to carry out with different mentality, the effect is far from it. Therefore, the same is implemented, if you want to have good performance, members must use 100% passion to work. Only in this way can the whole team be full of vigor, vitality and confidence, so as to overcome the difficulties on the road so as to achieve high performance.
7. speak your mind, communicate and communicate again.
There are differences between people, and there is no need for friction. Although everyone's values are consistent, although everyone is full of passion, there are always misunderstandings and contradictions. So in this case, we must communicate in a timely manner, communicate peacefully, communicate rationally, eliminate barriers and eliminate suspicions in communication. If opinions are kept constant, it is easy to ferment into a big conflict and affect unity. Finally, it will naturally affect performance. So, whether we can communicate, communicate or dare to communicate is an important indicator of a team's cohesiveness.
8. eternal praise and gratitude
With communication, it only eliminates misunderstanding and enhances understanding. To make the team more cohesive and enable them to get more help from partners, they must learn to praise and be grateful. Praise is affirmation and encouragement and support for partners. Thanksgiving is also affirmation, from the bottom of my heart to others.
In fact, every one of us has been constantly encouraging and caring from other people's lives. People who know and do not know each other are giving us love every day. According to the data, a person can only exert 30% of his potential without encouragement, and once encouraged, he will exert the potential of 80-90%. Therefore, sincere gratitude and praise is a lubricant, a wealth, and a high performance accelerator.
9. study hard and make progress every day.
The ancients said that it is never too old to learn. Haier Zhang Ruimin said that if you want to succeed, you must stick to it and stick to it again! Ah Li Baba Ma said that short passion is not worth money, and continuous passion generates money! The environment is changing, the world is changing, and a high-performance team must learn and improve itself continuously so as to continuously create high performance. As long as you can manage your team according to the above ten points, I believe your team will become stronger and stronger.
10. always hand in hand.
Hand in hand is cooperation. It is unity. More and more specialized social division of labor, more and more cooperation is needed to achieve business. When all members struggle for a dream, everyone should give your partner more support, hand in hand, heart to heart, and cooperation to overcome the storm! Of course, unity and cooperation must be achieved, and members need to have more win consciousness, service awareness and confusion.
