How to Make Teams Effective

如何组建精锐的团队

People in every workplace talk about building the team, working as a team, and my team, but few understand how to create the experience of teamwork or how to develop an effective team.

在各种工作场合，人们都在谈论团队建设、团队合作、自己的团队，但是却很少有人真正理解如何体验团队合作以及如何组建一支精锐的团队。

Belonging to a team, in the broadest sense, is a result of feeling part of something larger than yourself.

属于一个团队，就是体验自己成为比自己更大的团体的一部分。

It has a lot to do with your understanding of the mission or objectives of your organization.

这在很大程度上与你对企业任务和目标的理解有关。

In a team-oriented environment, you contribute to the overall success of the organization.

在以团队为导向的环境里，你要为企业的全面成功做出自己的贡献。

You work with fellow members of the organization to produce these results.

你要和同事们通力合作以达到这些目标。

Even though you have a specific job function and you belong to a specific department, you are unified with other organization members to accomplish the overall objectives.

即使你属于某个工作部门，有着具体工作职责，你仍然要与其他同事团结一致去实现这些总体目标。

The bigger picture drives your actions; your function exists to serve the bigger picture.

你的行动受到企业更大目标的驱使，你的职责服务于企业更大的目标。

Therefore, executives, managers, and organization staff members universally explore ways to improve business results and profitability.

因而，行政主管、经理以及组织的普通员工无不对提高企业绩效和盈利能力的办法进行探讨。

Many view team-based, Horizontal[ˌhɔrəˈzɑntl] organization structures as the best design for involving all employees in creating business success.

许多人认为，让全体员工参与、为企业成功共同努力的最好策略是采取以团队为基础的横向企业结构。
