Introducing "Food for Thought" #74. The formula is simple: three short messages once a week to feed your mind.
Teamwork
We vs. I
The ultimate measure of your culture: the ratio of "We" vs. "I". Do team members talk about your team as one with a common purpose and mission? Or is there a tendency to take ownership of successes individually and blame others when things don't go as planned?
Motivation
Pride vs. hubris
Proud employees are your best ambassadors. They play for the logo on the sweater, not the name on the back. Their motivation is rooted in collective success, not ego or individual achievements.
Communication
Sincerity vs. Compliance
Telling the truth and being truthful is always a good team idea. Would you rather have the truth or a ready-made answer? In an environment where conformity prevails, people are content to say what you want to hear, to play political games that stifle innovation.
