how to break into the technical industry
A high-performing workplace is built on teamwork and synergy. It’s not enough to gather the right people. They need to be provided with the tools and leadership as well as the environment that allows them to work efficiently.
A key aspect of synergy is clearly defining the roles and responsibilities of each individual within the group. This reduces confusion and ensures that every member of the team plays an essential, but distinct role in the overall project. It is also important to establish a culture in which team members are able to freely share resources without feeling threatened. When team members can freely seek help from others or assist with an assignment that isn’t their area of expertise, it’s a sign of a highly cohesive and collaborative team.
Additionally to that, a high degree of synergy can result in an effective team with lower turnover and better productivity. This kind of high-performance work environment can also boost morale.
Viewing synergy as an unalloyed good can blind managers to potential negative knock-on effects. They rush to promote cooperative efforts as a model to be replicated throughout the company. This can result in a diversion of management time and resources away from other important business issues.
Regular meetings and feedback mechanisms are important to keep the team on the right track and motivated. This informs everyone of the team’s progress and allows the team to come up with fresh ideas as needed.
