One
reason for a company's under-performance can be a lack of teamwork within
the business and/or its divisions. It can result from: i) poor leadership;
ii) misunderstandings among employees; iii) lack of clearly defined and
communicated goals; and, iv) atrophy. Any one of the above can
severely inhibit a company's ability for peak performance and create undue
stress among its employees. A lack of teamwork is part of the problem in
distressed companies, and therefore one of the solutions in a turnaround.
As part of a turnaround Sandon Enterprises identifies the core issues that
have created the problem by ensuring that all employees' concerns are
aired and understood. Then solutions are consensually developed and
reviewed. When employees participate in goal-setting, the chances of
successfully implementing these goals is greatly improved.
Part of the team building process includes assessing the strengths and
weaknesses of the employees so the company can align its organization to
build on their strengths. Management must communicate the corporate goals
to the employees. Each employee should be encouraged to set and achieve
their own goals while ensuring that these goals are aligned with the
overall corporate goals.
Team Building results in developing the employee to his/her fullest
potential while encouraging them to set and achieve their personal
objectives within the organization's own corporate objectives.
