Work as a Team What you will learn in this lesson You will learn three or more benefits of working as a team. You will learn three or more ways to resolve issues and avoid conflict in the workplace.
There is no “I” in teamwork. A team is a group of motivated people who • know what to do, and how and when to do it. • enjoy working together. • want coworkers to succeed. • share a common goal. Teamwork is • the ability of the group to work together. • the fuel that allows a group to attain uncommon results. • less “me” and more “we.” TEAM = TOGETHER EVERYONE ACHIEVES MORE
Why Work as a Team? Teamwork • divides the work and doubles the success. • gives members a strong sense of self-worth and a feeling of belonging. • helps FSAs see their tasks as a link in the chain of serving students healthy meals. • promotes shared responsibility. PEOPLE WHO WORK TOGETHER WILL WIN. --Vince Lombardi
Conflict—Healthful or Harmful? Helpful, if it • gets issues on the table for discussion. • builds togetherness. • helps people understand procedures and rules. • encourages FSAs to discuss issues and find solutions. • Harmful, if it • diverts energy from scheduled work. • points out differences in values. • weakens or destroys morale. • causes staff to form cliques.
