We’ve all been a part of that group project. You know, the project where one person takes the lead, leading some members to conclude their ideas are unwelcome, while a select few ride the others’ coattails.
Thanks to experiences like this, it’s no surprise why so many people have been scarred by the nightmares of past group projects.
And yet, something incredible happens when teamwork happens the way it’s supposed to happen. Things change when everyone on the team is equally invested in the overall purpose and goal. You find yourself working faster, finding mistakes more easily, and innovating better.
Ultimately, you reach a point where you’re certain each person on your team has your back – and both your job satisfaction and performance skyrocket.
