Developing High-performance Teams
HPTs are characterized by a sense of camaraderie—having warm, positive and cooperative relations with others in the workplace (“one for all and all for one”). Setting and working together to achieve SMART goals helps build camaraderie.
A tremendous, though often overlooked, tool that leaders can use to help build camaraderie is recognition. A recent Gallup Poll(3) found that 65 percent of employees claimed to have received NO praise or recognition the past year. How sad.
