CommunicateEfficiently
Regardless of the changes in technology, the market for well-crafted messages will always have an audience.
(Burnett, 1999)
INTERESTING AND WELL THOUGHT OUT COMMUNICATION IS KEY
“
”
“Based on organizational learning theory (Argyris & Scho¨n, 1978; Edmondson, 1999),
we propose that asking questions and giving or seeking feedback when a goal is experienced as
being unclear, or when communication is experienced as being off topic, may help the TMG
to become more focused during the discussion, and, subsequently, to increase team effectiveness. However, we suggest that the effect of speaking up will be moderated by the degree of goal clarity or
focused communication.”(Fuglesang, 2010).
IMPORTANCEOF INCLUSION
“A team with strong behavioral integration has strong unity of effort. The members share information and resources, work collaboratively on projects and
tasks, and make decisions together.”
(Holahan, P., Mayer, Roger C., Mooney, A., Paul, L. F., 2008)
Recognize the power of Confidence: Always involve yourself in discussions
Trust your team: Let your partnerships breath
Diversity Is Key: You cannot buy momentum

Respecting Opinions
“The premise for linking emotional intelligence to team performance is that high emotional
intelligence enables team members to manage and be aware of their own emotions and the
emotions of other team members. Emotional awareness and emotional management abilities
have important consequences for team performance, as these abilities help maintain effective
and appropriate relationships with fellow workers.”
(Jordan, P. J., & Troth, A. C., 2002)
