‘Teams are groups whose members have a clear sense of belonging, and who share responsibility for accomplishing tasks.’- Paolo Guenzi and Dino Ruta
When it comes to building a successful team,
‘No individual does anything until and unless he is first motivated to do so.’
‘One person’s perceptions of need cannot motivate another.’
‘Humans prefer mastery and control to ambiguity and uncertainty.’
‘If your subordinates believe that you’re honest and straightforward, they’ll be more inclined to trust you- and to believe their trust is well placed.’
‘Humans are motivated both to get ahead and to get along.’
‘Our behavior is governed by two types of interactions: those that come naturally (instincts) and those that are learned (conditioning).’
‘… Companies cannot succeed if their employees aren’t in alignment.’
‘Followers perform best if they know what’s expected of them.’
‘Leaders perform best if they’ve got enthusiastic buy-in from their followers.’
‘If people doing the work aren’t happy with their lots, it’s unlikely the organization for which they toil will thrive as it otherwise might.’
