Building great teams

"You will find men who want to be carried on the shoulders of others, who think that the world owes them a living. They don't seem to see that we must all lift together and pull together."—Henry Ford

synergize! helps you build great teams!

Wouldn't it be great if we could work with people who were just like us?

We wouldn't be annoyed by people that we wish would just ________________ (you fill in the blank). We wouldn't have to worry about putting people off because we were intimidating, or too talkative, or too quiet or too meticulous. Using the DISC behavior profile as an example, the D's wouldn't have to worry about being pushy. The I's could talk to their hearts' content. The S's could take all the time in the world to do a thorough job. And the C's could be sure ev-er-y-thing-was-per-fect.

Unfortunately—or fortunately, since we probably wouldn't get much done—it doesn't work that way. And we end up with dysfunctional teams that are ripe with misunderstandings, unproductive conflict, poor performance management, and low employee engagement— all leading to less than remarkable results.
