Progress Through “Keeping Together”
“Coming together is a beginning. Keeping together is progress. Working together is success.”
As we considered in the last post we again turn to the quote above made by Henry Ford referring to Team Work. Last time we looked at the first phrase, now lets us consider the middle phrase, “Keeping Together” and how this is vital to progress through team work.
“Keeping Together” may seem implicit with team work, but that is not necessarily so. A team can function, get results and perform to a limited sense without being “together”. Every member of a team will have a role to play and as long as that role is fulfilled, to a greater or lesser degree, a target can be reached, eventually.
But to really progress “Keeping Together” is vital, as Ford stated - because a team should be more than it’s constituent parts and progress further than just a bunch of individuals. Team work at its best is a group of individuals coming together and then functioning as one body.
Each member of the team is vital - just like in our own bodies, a hand may seem very important compared to let’s say a toe, but is a toe is missing movement and balance becomes more difficult, so the whole body suffers, Each member of the body is needed and to function at its best the body needs to be complete - to keep together.
So a team needs a head, it needs hands and it needs toes, all these parts - people - need to work with one common purpose and not override each other but allow each part to do its bit.
If a team works in this way, with clear communication, there is no end to what they can accomplish.
Hence to make real progress, and not just complete a project, a team needs to “Keep Together” - morphing into one seamless body.
So, Enigin Distributors are advised to form their teams, like the airliners crew we discussed int he last post, and make sure everyone knows their role and pulls together and keeps together, working for and with each other and hence progress to higher achievements in the energy saving business.
At Enigin training new Enigin Distributors are encouraged to build a close team as that brings success.
