How do you build a productive team? By ensuring that the members of the team enjoy working together, by tapping into each worker’s strengths and compensating for his or her weaknesses, and by defining the team’s goals. There is a big difference between programs that focus on team spirit and programs that promote team building through the development of a lasting and well-coordinated TEAM. Both types of programs have some value, but we have learned that programs which concentrate on team spirit tend to fade quickly, while the benefits of true team building usually last forever. Best of all is a program which starts with developing team spirit and moves on to team building.

There are Four Keys to Great Teamwork. Team members who

• Communicate well
  
• Like each other
  
• Respect one another, and
  
• Work towards common goals,

function better as a team than those who don't.
