However, we have to examine its real value in social life.
For a long time, China society, which is based on the traditional thought of centralization, pays more attention to collective interests than individual interests, and individual interests are subordinate to collective interests. When this value orientation develops to the extreme, the unique features of collectivism are revealed, that is, the pursuit of convergence has buried the most essential things of people-personality and specialty.
On the basis of convergence, there is an absolute requirement to serve the people and a spirit of self-sacrifice and selfless dedication. These are understandable, but what I am most afraid of is that extremes meet. Over time, the result is that the majority obeys the minority, but only listens and obeys. However, the creation and display of human personality are finally distorted and obliterated.
The Foundation of Team Spirit-Showing Personality
What kind of team spirit should be cultivated? Maybe we should make it clear first: what is a team?
What is a team? This question doesn't seem difficult to answer. Today, teams seem to be everywhere, and people are already misusing this word. However, it is not an easy task to find out what kind of team can do the best job and what kind of team management can really improve the efficiency of the team. We must go back to the source and re-recognize the "team".
Joan R. Kadabah and Douglas K. Smith, two internationally renowned authors of The Wisdom of Teams, have repeatedly emphasized the necessity of accurately distinguishing teams from general groups: a team does not refer to any group that works together. Team spirit represents a series of values, encouraging listening, actively responding to others' opinions, providing support for others and respecting others' interests and achievements.
Let's take a look at the typical team mentioned by Welch-sports team. It is not difficult to find: first, the selection and combination of team members, the most basic part of the team, are specially equipped; Second, every member of the team is doing something different from other members; Third, team management is to treat each member differently, and through careful design and corresponding training, let each member's personality get continuous development and play. This is a team worthy of the name.
In this way, the obvious difference between the team and the general group appears-creating team performance. Where does team performance come from? Fundamentally speaking, it comes from the individual achievements of team members first, and then from the collective achievements. In short, the team relies on the real collective achievements of individual members. This is not to ask all team members to sacrifice themselves to accomplish the same thing, but to ask all team members to give full play to themselves to do it well.
In other words, we cultivate teams efficiently and form team spirit. The most important thing is to respect individual interests and achievements. Set up different positions, select different talents, give different treatment, training and affirmation, so that each member has his own specialties and shows his or her abilities, and the stronger the atmosphere, the better.
The Core of Team Spirit-Cooperation
Of course, we must not forget the fundamental function or function of the team, that is, to improve the overall business performance of the organization. Whether it is to strengthen individual work standards or to help each member achieve better results, the purpose is to make the team's work performance exceed the individual performance of the members, and make the team's performance consist of all parts, which is greater than the sum of all parts.
In this way, all the work results of the team will eventually be tested at one point, which is the spirit of cooperation. Would Welch be the Welch of GE today without Reuben's profound understanding and understanding of his work and his persistent spirit of work cooperation?
We can look at another vivid example: once, Lenovo sports team and HP sports team had a rock climbing competition. The HP team emphasized that Qi Xin should work together, pay attention to safety and accomplish the task together. For the time being, the Lenovo team didn't do much morale encouragement, but it has been summing up something. The game started, and the HP team encountered several dangers in the whole process. Although everyone Qi Xin worked together to eliminate the danger and completed the task, but because the time dragged on for too long, he still lost to Lenovo. So what is the association before the game? It turns out that they carefully combined the personal advantages and disadvantages of the players: the first is a small player with clever movements, the second is a tall player, with a lady and a huge player in the middle, and of course, there are independent climbers behind. As a result, they finished the task quickly and there was almost no danger.
It can be seen that a major feature of the team: team members must be complementary talents. * * * The guarantee to achieve the goals and tasks is to give full play to everyone's specialties and pay attention to the process to make them work together.
The realm of team spirit-cohesion
At this point, we have to ask, what is the highest realm of team spirit? It is the centripetal force and cohesion of all members. This is the most important sign of moving from a loose collection of individuals to a team.
Here, it is important to have a common goal and encourage all members to strive for it, but the centripetal force and cohesion must come from the conscious internal motivation and values of team members. It is hard for us to imagine that a real centripetal force can be formed in a group that has no chance to show itself; Similarly, it is hard for us to imagine that real cohesion can be formed without a clear willingness and way of cooperation. Then, ensuring that there is no crisis of trust becomes the key to the problem, and the biggest harm is the loss of trust of team members in the organization.
So what exactly is team spirit? Can it be said that there is such an atmosphere in the enterprise: the potential talents and skills of team members can be continuously released; Can make employees feel deep respect and attention; Encourage frank communication and avoid vicious competition; Find the best way to cooperate with the post; For a unified goal, everyone consciously agrees with the responsibility they must shoulder and is willing to contribute to it.
