We know it takes effort, cooperation, and coordination. It takes a group acting together and for a common goal. But what makes a team <em>great<\/em>? Better yet, how can you take your team at work and make them a better one, one that everyone wants to do business with? Here&#8217;s 5 easy ways to make your teamwork work:<br \/>\n<strong>1)\u00a0\u00a0 Create team goals.<\/strong><br \/>\nWhen you can get individuals on the same page, working towards 1 shared goal, things that might have seemed unlikely or even impossible happen.\u00a0 Individuals may have different roles on the team, but none is more important than another with a common goal is in sight.\u00a0 In football, the quarterback usually gets all of the glory, but if the offensive line didn\u2019t block and do their role, he wouldn&#8217;t be as effective.<br \/>\n<strong>2) Hire friendly people.<\/strong><br \/>\nHiring inherently happy people goes a long way.\u00a0 A friendly staff is the face of your company and many customers buy from you because they \u201cfeel good\u201d about the people they are working with.\u00a0 Friendly people keep a positive attitude and make being at work more enjoyable for others. \u00a0And when you enjoy being at work, your customers can feel it.<br \/>\n<strong>3) Have a \u201cYES\u201d attitude.<\/strong><br \/>\nIf your coworker asks for your help, say \u201cYes\u201d. \u00a0It shouldn&#8217;t matter what they&#8217;re asking for and it is more than the old, \u201cif you scratch my back, I will scratch yours\u201d approach. \u00a0Willingness to help, even if something isn&#8217;t your job, is contagious.<br \/>\n<strong>4) Keep open communication.<\/strong><br \/>\nThe ability to communicate quickly and efficiently is import to any team.\u00a0 Have a meeting with your staff.\u00a0 Talk about the best ways to communicate messages to each other.\u00a0 There are plenty of tools out there, whether it is instant messenger, email, phone calls, using a company intranet, or a post it note on a desk. Establish which methods work best for you and use them.<br \/>\n<strong>5) Think outside the cube.<\/strong><br \/>\nGet to know your coworkers outside of your cubicle walls and outside the stress of work.\u00a0 Eat lunch with a different coworker each week. Plan a Happy Hour.\u00a0Being able to get along outside of work helps develop a better understanding between coworkers and goes a long way when the chips are down.<br \/>\nWhat ways have worked for you to build better teamwork in your business?<br \/>\n<em>photo credit:\u00a0\u00a9 Ivelin Radkov\u00a0\u2013 stock.adobe.com<\/em><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><em><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-1504\" style=\"margin: 5px\" src=\"http:\/\/etereman.com\/remanu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/Jake3-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"67\" height=\"67\" \/>In his second Reman University article, Reman Wingman Jake Jankowski shares a few ways for better teamwork.
