Team Dynamism

#Fashion #Lifestyle & #Travel leaving all these and a few more interesting topics, Why am I talking about Team Dynamism?
Football season has just ended, Team Croatia couldn't win the world cup but has definitely won hearts of millions.
As #trending topics get you a whatsapp forwarded messages, I received one before the world cop final, and that probably made me think about #teamDynamism and I thought of writing on this topic.

So the message goes like this :

There is no 'I' in 'TEAM'

Nikola Kalinic : He is a Croatian Footballer.
In Croatia's first group match against Nigeria he refused to play as the substitute because his ego that felt he is more important than being a substitute.

Next Day he was sent back home!

Last night his teammates reached country's first ever World Cup Final, while
Kalinic is sitting at home! 

A lot of managers fail to understand, how important it is to maintain team dynamics and work environment.
In my advertising career, being Client servicing executive I have always been mentored and told by my seniors, that while briefing a creative person If you put garbage in, expect a garbage in return.

This is what happens in other areas as well, Garbage in-Garbage out!
Period!

Nikola is a great individual player, but I must say,
Finding good players is easy, Getting them to play as a team is another story.
and building that story is the primary job of any leader.

If team dynamics is maintained and team members are motivated enough, productivity is a byproduct.
Little more efforts in product understanding and product training.. and you are through.

Start your process, by 'getting together' right kind of people, 'keeping them together' is the next step and 'working together' will definitely fetch you good returns.

Another quote that I had read in one of the articles, 
You can assign tasks, but you can't force people to be accountable.
Accountability is an act of will..! 

And hence I feel team dynamism plays a very important role here as, work environment and team dynamics directly affects the productivity and willingness to work towards achieving the common goal.
and these two things are achieved, accountability is again a byproduct.

So a plinth needs to be strong and then the rest is managed in auto pilot mode.
