Teamwork makes the Dream Work!

The old saying, “the whole is greater than the sum of the parts,” has never been truer than the past two years. Teamwork was critical with employees working remotely, from the office, or a combination of both. Studies, along with common sense,  show that for teams to be successful, individuals must possess more than technical or hard job-related skills. They must also be proficient in what are termed “soft skills.” These “soft skills” include, but aren’t limited to: 

• Communication skills which include verbal, nonverbal, written, and visual. This also means encouraging and welcoming input from all team members.
• Collaboration pertaining to team performance not individual success or said another way having the right people in the right position on the team 
• Problem Solving which includes the belief that’s there’s no such thing as problems, only opportunities
• Emotional Intelligence, the ability to identify and regulate personal emotions, recognize the emotions of others, and learn how to work together.
