Traits of high performing integrated teams
by Nasir Sharif
1. Their core values are trust and transparency.
Sincere, neutral advice and unbiased approach by oneself help to develop an environment based on trust. Trust within own self and within the team members keep morals high during challenging times and provide confidence to achieve a common goal.
Have you ever thought about why childhood friendships last throughout life?
2. They put their differences to work.
Integrated teams supplement the weakness of ones with competencies of others. Different team members from different backgrounds and experience bring unique strengths as well as weaknesses. Getting these traits together within well-integrated teams develop competent teams that yield extraordinary, outstanding results. In such groups; members understand and recognize strengths and weaknesses of each other and instead of exploiting that extend their support to achieve common ground. This balancing act brings consistent sustainability.
3. They always choose to look at the bright side.
Considering crisis as challenges and facing those with openness and positive mental attitude despite all sort of surrounded negativity, pressures and rumours are the traits of well cohesive teams. Positive thinking and approach open doors to new horizons of opportunities during challenging times.
4. They share the same goal.
Unsegregated teams put their differences aside and work together to achieve a shared goal.
Team members recognize the difference in opinion and approaches of other members and engage into healthy, objective argumentation to define the most appropriate method to achieve the goal.
5. They crush mental barriers.
Unifying different minds of various ideologies and strengths overcomes individual mental barriers and limits. This develops a culture of continuous learning and development.
Though individuals contribute; working together as a team, synchronizing efforts in the same direction to achieve a shared goal, this eliminates abortive efforts of dealing with resistances. Energies are fully utilized to achieve the desired objective.
6. They don’t let minor failures deter them from the main objective.
They never take failure as a bad omen. They are either succeeding or learning.
7. They enjoy sharing ideas.
They communicate openly and willingly and listen to each other attentively. Ideas are respected and sought after. They don’t believe in vain talk.
