All organizations benefit from good teamwork. Collaboration is essential in all aspects, whether selling interior decorating designs or planning the next successful smartphone app. However, great collaboration leads to great communication. And the quality of such communication, according to many studies, is much more valuable than its quantity.
Unfortunately, you can’t always achieve great team collaboration. This is more likely if team members:
- They do not share the same vision or the same goals
- They do not understand or do not agree with their responsibilities, which can lead to confusion or duplication of tasks.
- Lack of communication or trust between everyone, which is quite likely if they do not know each other or have not seen each other in person.
- They do not have opportunities to discuss their views about decisions or changes in a project.
- They are not motivated to innovate or discuss new ideas, which can be caused by overthinking the issues and not reaching any resolution.
Not only will a peaceful environment be achieved if everyone works well together, but studies show that those organizations that encourage collaboration go beyond the sum of their parts and are therefore more likely to achieve high performance. This becomes true when collaborators work together toward a shared goal.
