Techniques are:

Create a clear and compelling cause.

To create a cohesion, team members must be provided with a convincing reason to be a part of the
company mission. The more compelling and exciting the mission, the easier it is to inspire team
members to want to be a part of what the company aspires to accomplish. When they are given a clear
and gripping cause to be involved with, team members naturally become as passionate about the goals
and objectives as their leaders. If team members do not care or are unclear about the goals and
objectives presented to them, they will find all kinds of reasons not to work together. For collaboration
to work, the vision and purpose must be clear.

Communicate expectations.

Collaboration must be communicated to team members as the minimum standard. To foster this, team
members must be provided with defined individual and collective roles and responsibilities they will
hold within the team. When they have a clear understanding of their position, each team member will
work more effectively and without accidentally stepping on another person’s toes creating unforeseen
conflicts. In a collaborative environment, each team member experiences what it means to take part in
the shared responsibility of results. With this type of focus, what starts out as a goal becomes a crusade
with the experience of success changing from an individual achievement into a bonded group
experience building comrade and morale.

Establish team goals.

To drive success in team members it’s important to set measurable goals for each on a quarterly basis.
The purpose of these goals is to provide team members with achievable wins. These wins have a magical
way of breaking down barriers and creating positive momentum individually and collectively. Further,
it’s imperative to re-evaluate goals and redirect whenever necessary. At each quarter’s end, the
outcomes of quarterly goals must be made available to the whole team as a way to measure and
celebrate progress, and to determine where improvements need to be made. Working with this type of
transparency decreases confusion, finger-pointing and the disintegration of team cohesion .
