Go the Matildas!
Are you a team leader working hard to build a productive and cohesive team? And somehow despite your best efforts some of the personalities will not play nice with each other. Maybe you are heading up a marketing team and the analytical data people don’t gel with the creative, intuitive marketers. Or maybe it’s the finance team that can’t get on with the sales team.
And even though you have tried a variety of approaches, you have reached a point that you think nothing will work. Have you thought about collaborating with your team on wellbeing and strengths-based working instead of the usual team building exercises? And by wellbeing I don’t mean holding yoga classes and bringing in fruit bowls. I’m talking about a more comprehensive approach to wellbeing that encompasses all aspects of their lives not just work.
Why not delve into what gives each team member a sense of meaning and purpose, and how those elements intertwine with both their personal lives and their work? By understanding the underlying motivations and aspirations of your team, you might discover new paths to strengthen camaraderie and cooperation. Encouraging discussions about individual aspirations and creating connections between their personal goals and the team’s objectives can foster a more profound sense of unity and motivation. When people see the greater purpose in their work and how it aligns with their overall life goals, they tend to be more engaged and enthusiastic about collaborating with others.
If this approach appeals to you and you’d like to know more get in touch to see where this might take you.
