Lake Tahoe | Teamwork at its best (Impossible Is Nothing)

Valentina, Santiago, Maca, Manu, Guincha, Pablito.

Michael Jordan once said, “Talent wins games, but teamwork and intelligence wins championships.” I couldn’t agree more. I’m a firm believer that the success of a business is directly related to the talented individuals that comprise the work force.  Their expertise and efforts are what enable a company to thrive. And while staff members bring various skill sets and qualities to the table, it’s the formation of internal teams that yields ultimate results and leads to increased productivity among employees. 

1) Added solutions – The saying, “Two brains are better than one” couldn’t be more accurate in a work environment. When employees are tasked with brainstorming ideas to solve a problem or devise a strategy plan, the input from various individuals is extremely beneficial and produces a longer list of options.

2) Increased synergy – When one employee gets excited about working on a project, other team members tend to feed off of that energy, which then leads to increased productivity. If individuals can work together and merge their technical and organizational skills, the benefits for those involved are both increased synergy and a greater opportunity to achieve client satisfaction.

3) More friendly competition – This is actually a good thing for a company to foster, as it challenges people to pursue excellence instead of complacency. Incorporating friendly challenges will raise  productivity while also encouraging employees to achieve higher quality of work on time. Competitions in the work place motivate staff members and provide an opportunity for peers to acknowledge their contributions. 

4) Greater understanding – Forming teams made up of employees that perform different job functions allows staff to better understand how their colleagues contribute. Combining different skills sets and allowing staff members to work together to complete a client project that will produce better outcomes and allow  individuals to recognize and appreciate what each person brings to the table. 

5) Enhanced relationships – By working together, employees have the opportunity to develop meaningful relationships with one another. Constant communication and support tends to produce a special camaraderie. Forming cohesive groups will not only help the team along the way, but it will hopefully enhance the relationships of those in the group.

While it’s imperative to possess talented individuals that can work independently, it’s the accumulation of talent that produces great results.  The praise that our company receives is a direct result of our outstanding teams and their ability to work together to achieve the overall goal; producing excellent results and delivering value to our clients.
