The Art of Teamwork - 50minutes
Issue: what position should I occupy in a team in order to collaborate effectively with all members?
Uses: good teamwork allows each person’s contributions and collaborations to be optimised, which influences the organisation’s productivity.
Professional context: human resource management, teamwork, project management.
FAQs:
What are the characteristics of a professional team?
What elements are favourable to the effective functioning of a team?
Does the interdependence of tasks influence efficiency?
Is there a model for evaluating team performance?
Can a team’s performance be evaluated based on its results?
Are the highest-performing team members the ones that get the best results?
Is performance linked only to skills?
Does the team have an impact on my personal identity?
The group in which we work influences our individual performance at work. As each team develops their own dynamic, the individuals within it develop connections every day that form standards for expected behaviour and routines that should be respected.

This framework of collective standards puts a fairly strong pressure on your actions, by either cultivating or failing to cultivate your interpersonal comfort within the team. Although they are very present and influence the involvement of group members, these standards are unfortunately not always as explicit as we would like. Consequently, upon contact with a team, your challenge will be positioning yourself appropriately within it in order to fit into its particular dynamic.
