Of the 68 teams who made this year's NCAA tournament, which ones will be matched at the championship game on April 4th at
NRG Stadium in Houston? Your guess is as good as mine. What we know
for certain is that whether in sports or business, there is no greater
indicator of success than to have your team, or company, ranked at the
top.
Here are four core indicators of teamwork success in the spirit of March Madness.
Trust Each
individual player brings unique skills and characteristics to the
table, or game, and overall team strength is therefore a sum of all of
the members' individual talents. The key differentiator at play is trust because without it, the team will only be as strong as its weakest member.
After
my six-year-old son's last basketball game, I asked why he didn't pass
the ball after a rebound to which he replied, "I wanted to score the
shot, but I should have passed it like we talked about." My son did not trust his teammate to make the shot and instead was a ball-hog who ultimately missed the bucket. No team can afford a ball-hog-on the court or in the workplace. Trust is paramount to successful teamwork.
Empathy In the final minutes of some of history's greatest upsets, you've probably seen coaches spewing commands at their players.
