Overview: Virtually every staff member believes in teamwork. At least they say they do. Although, few of them make teamwork a reality in their organizations. It is believed that teamwork is not a virtue in itself. It is merely a strategic choice, not unlike adopting a specific sales model or a financial strategy. And certainly, when properly understood and implemented, it is a powerful and beneficial tool. As a result, many of today’s leaders champion teamwork reflexively without really understanding what it entails. Becoming a team is not necessarily right for every group of leaders. Thus, to become a cohesive team, a group of leaders must learn to commit to decisions when there is less than perfect information available, and when no natural consensus develops. And because perfect information and natural consensus rarely exist, the ability to commit becomes one of the most critical behaviors of a team.
