None
of us are as smart as all of us. – Japanese proverb
AN
ENTRAINED TEAM operates
like an orchestra. There is harmony. It is highly synchronized.
Each member is responsible and accountable for delivering
numerous notes at varying times using different instruments.
There is commitment, practice, and performance with joy.
What does teamwork feel like?
Is there cooperation, productivity, resiliency, efficiency
and fun? Or, is there frustration, communication breakdown,
resentment, conflict and burnout?
What makes the difference?
How can two teams start out with the same goals and one remains
intact and prosperous while the other ends up fractured and
in conflict?
Perhaps one team experienced
the phenomenon of entrainment. In an entrained team, each
member knows how to self-manage and navigate through moment-to-moment
challenges. Daily events which could cause wear-and-tear on
the individual members of the team are managed elegantly so
the team is not derailed. Continuous efficiency and higher
levels of energy are maintained.
• This team manages change and challenge effectively.
• This team is healthy and coherent.
• This team doesn’t waste time.
• This team meets and exceeds its goals.
