Team spirit story
Introduction: Logically speaking, the mouth, nose, eyes, and eyebrows each have their own position, each with their own strengths and uses, they are like a machine There are many parts on the machine, all of which are indispensable, regardless of merit or status. Below is a short story about team spirit that I brought to you. I hope it will be helpful to everyone.
A man dressed like a magician came to a village. He said to the oncoming woman: "I have a soup stone. If I put it on the stove, it will The boiling water will immediately turn into a delicious soup. I will cook it for everyone to drink now. ?
At this time, someone found a big pot, and someone else brought a bucket of water, set up a stove and wood, and started cooking in the square. The stranger carefully put the soup stone into the hot pot, then took a bite with a spoon and said excitedly: "It's so delicious. It would be even better if you add some onions." ?Immediately someone rushed home and got a bunch of onions. The stranger tasted it again: "It's great. If you add more slices of meat, it will be even more fragrant." ?Another woman came home quickly and brought a plate of meat. ?A few more veggies would be perfect. ?The stranger suggested again. Under the direction of strangers, some people brought salt, some soy sauce, and some other ingredients. When everyone squatted there with a bowl and enjoyed it, they found that this was really the most delicious soup in the world.
Enlightenment:
It was just a stone picked up by a stranger on the roadside. In fact, as long as we are willing, everyone can cook such a delicious soup. When you contribute your part, we are united and the soup stone is in everyone's heart.
1. We need team spirit!
There is a story: Three mice went together to steal oil, but the oil tank was very deep and the oil was at the bottom of the tank. They could only smell the oil. The mouse was very anxious because he couldn't drink the oil. Suddenly, a mouse came up with a great idea. It proposed that three mice bite each other's tails and hang down from the bottom of the tank to drink oil. After discussion, everyone reached a consensus and decided to take turns drinking oil. Blessings are shared, no one can enjoy them alone. So, the first mouse was the first to hang down to drink the oil. It thought at the bottom of the tank: There is only such a small amount of oil. Everyone takes turns to drink too much. I am lucky today. I am the first one to come down and drink the oil. Why not go first? Have a drink. The second mouse in the middle is also thinking: There isn't much oil down there. If the first mouse drinks up all the oil, won't I have to drink the northwest wind? Why am I hanging in the middle so hard? Let that kid enjoy it alone? I think it’s better to loosen it and just jump in and have a drink! The mouse on the top is also thinking: There is only so little oil. When the two of them have eaten and drank enough, where will there be? For my sake, no, I had to make a decision immediately, so the top mouse let go of the tail of the middle mouse. They scrambled to jump to the bottom of the tank. They were soaked and looked embarrassed. Due to the depth of the tank, they never jumped out again.
This story tells everyone a truth: Although the three mice seem to be cooperating together, they have their own concerns and would rather not have such cooperation. It is difficult to succeed if you only consider your own interests when fighting alone. A truly strong person should pay attention to win-win situations and pursue teamwork spirit. "One hero has three gangs", "three cobblers are the equal of Zhuge Liang". Our ancient traditional culture has long emphasized that a harmonious team can produce huge effects and power. ?Unity is strength? This famous saying has been proved by countless examples at home and abroad in ancient and modern times. Whether there is an excellent team culture based on the spirit of concerted efforts, unity and cooperation can determine the success or failure of a team; in such a team, the effect of "1+1>2" will appear, which will I feel happy and proud to be part of such a team.
Mr. Bo Yang, the famous Taiwanese writer, said in "The Ugly Chinese": Every single Japanese looks like a pig, but three Japanese together make a dragon. Japan People's team spirit makes Japan invincible!? Every Chinese is a dragon, but three Chinese added together? When the three dragons are added together, they become a pig, a worm, and even worse than a worm. ?
Truly effective team management is high-performance management that can turn sand into cement blocks. The difference in power between a handful of loose sand dropped from a high altitude and a piece of cement dropped is self-evident. The famous American management scientist John C. Maxwell once mentioned in the book "Invincible" that most or even all the goals scored and good-looking goals in the World Cup are the result of "cooperation" and are the result of "team spirit". ?The result. Even famous stars need "cooperation". So modern management emphasizes "we succeed" rather than "I want to succeed". All successful teams are harmonious teams, based on the same value trend, with a deep emotional atmosphere as a bond, and with a unified strategic goal as a driving force, thus generating strong cohesion and centripetal force, triggering endless execution strength and combat effectiveness.
2. Where is team spirit reflected?
1. Have clear goals. Goals are like a compass in navigation, guiding the team's learning and work direction.
Only with clear goals can we be motivated to study and work and not be blind. The goal is to inspire, everyone grows in the process of achieving the goal, and the team is built in the process of achieving the goal. The popular story of the hound and the hare in management circles illustrates this point. A hunting dog drove the rabbit out of the nest and chased it for a long time without catching it. A shepherd stopped when he saw this scene and laughed at the hunting dog: "The little one between you two will run much faster." The hunting dog replied: "You don't know that running between us is completely different! I only run for a meal, but he runs for his life." This story reveals:
Rabbits and hounds do the same thing, running as hard as they can. However, their goals are inconsistent, and their goals are inconsistent, resulting in different motivations. It is not surprising that different roles in the team have very different goals and expectations for work due to their different status and perspectives on problems. Good team leaders are good at capturing the different mentalities among members, understanding their needs, and helping them establish the same goal. Think in one place with your mind, use your energy in one place, and work hard to form a combined force.
To this end, as a team leader, you need to clarify the following questions:
First, is there a clear, scientific and reasonable goal? Second, has the goal and strategy been clearly defined? , the concept is integrated into the mind of each team member and becomes the common sense of the team members? Third, how to decompose the goals so that each department and everyone knows their responsibilities and contributions. ?
Successful teams have clear goals, often maintain good communication with the leadership core, and are close to the leadership core's indicators. The team's performance goals are rooted in the team's strategy and vision. Teams need to understand the vision and its relationship to their own team goals, and they also need motivation and motivation. Without these measures as motivation, team organization will remain a mere formality.
2. Have a mature leadership core. A team must have elites. There is a 28/20 principle in the sales world, that is, 20% of the elite produce 80% of the performance. A team must have the support and leadership of elites to grow rapidly. A good team is a coordinated whole rather than a mechanical combination of people. It is different from a group. A real team will work hard around the same goal. The behaviors of its members are interdependent and influence each other, and they can cooperate well to pursue collective success. Team leaders are endowed with certain rights due to their status and responsibilities, but only relying on their power to give orders and suppress others will not form cohesiveness. What is important is to rely on their prestige and influence to convince people to form a team. Shares charm and attraction. This prestige depends on the leader's personality, moral character and ideological cultivation on the one hand; on the other hand it depends on the leader's knowledge, experience, courage, talent and ability. In addition, it also depends on whether the leader is strict with himself, takes the lead in setting an example, and whether he can devote himself wholeheartedly to his career. It also depends on whether the leader treats others fairly and justly, and shares the same joys and sorrows with team members. *Ji and so on.
3. Have a scientific management model. In a globalized competitive environment, technology, markets and rules are changing faster than ever before. If you want to be able to respond and adjust to changes in the external environment in a timely manner, you must change the traditional hierarchical management, implement principled management, and flatten the organizational structure. What the team ultimately pursues is overall synergy, cohesion and the best overall benefits, so it must establish an overall concept that puts the overall situation first, do not care about personal interests and local interests, and consciously contribute to enhancing the overall benefits of the team. Members are constantly interacting and communicating with each other, which has a huge impact on their ability to deliver results. In an efficient team, different members play different roles: the leader points out the direction, the followers implement it, the opponents correct it, and the bystanders provide comprehensive views. Some teams are not efficient precisely because these different roles do not play a balanced role.
4. Have a healthy member mentality. Team members must have a positive, enterprising, and open attitude. Being active means that members should be keen on team activities; being enterprising means that individuals are eager to improve their knowledge structure and develop abilities; they are eager to have intense collisions and discussions, discover and work hard to overcome character weaknesses; they are eager to make friends and improve their development space? The team is a Learning organization; openness has two meanings: openness to other members and opening up to one's own inner world.
5. Have strict organizational discipline. If a team wants to develop healthily and improve steadily, it must establish a fair, open and just environment where everyone is principled, responsible and disciplined. Its foundation is the system, which is the code of conduct that everyone must abide by. Establishing a complete set of scientific systems to institutionalize, standardize and program management work and human behavior is an important guarantee for the orderly and efficient operation of work. Without effective systems and norms, disorder and chaos will occur. It does not produce an organized, disciplined, and cohesive team. Leaders should support but not coddle team members, help but not condone, and use systems to regulate and restrict everyone's behavior. Conflicts in a team exist objectively, and they mainly depend on the attitude towards conflicts and the method of handling problems. If conflicts cannot be effectively resolved, team members will not be mentally balanced and the team will not be harmonious.
?No rules, no rules? With the system, team members all know how to do it and what they should do. This can effectively curb individual inertia and stimulate individual enthusiasm, and the result will be twice the result with half the effort.
The characteristics of the team we need are: clear goals, reasonable structure, proactive, harmonious and mutually helpful, dedicated and refined, efficient and innovative?
3. How to cultivate team spirit?
Building a team requires many factors, such as the team leader’s thinking and strategy, the mentality and passion of the team members, the overall spirit of the team, etc., all of which play an important role in team building. To truly implement the responsibility of building a harmonious team, the most important thing is to integrate manpower, unify people's will, gather people's hearts, enhance popularity, and enhance refined management under the guidance of team leaders with the spirit of "striving to surpass and pursuing excellence" , the ability of intensive development.
(1) Team leaders should take the lead
Team leaders should be more coaches and less referees, and achieve "Four Persistences" (unremitting efforts to develop and constantly enhance themselves) Strength; unremittingly focus on management and continuously improve work efficiency; unremittingly focus on the team and continuously improve the overall quality; unremittingly create first-class and continuously improve the team image) and lead everyone to make progress together. Team members are dependent, and they sometimes push responsibilities up one level at a time. This irresponsible approach of "crying a child to his mother" will inevitably lead to a decline in team execution. Then, team leaders should encourage team members’ independent thinking ability and teamwork spirit. On the one hand, everyone is encouraged to ask questions with answers, solve their own problems, handle their own affairs, and walk their own path.
On the other hand, we must correctly treat and fully integrate the suggestions and opinions of team members, and allow them the opportunity to participate in team management to help subordinates establish correct values ????and a sense of ownership to improve everyone's independent thinking ability and Independent combat capability. Leaders are good at using praise and criticism, turning praise and criticism into a "tool" to supervise and promote the development of team members, which is beneficial to the development of team members without any harm. Sternness is sometimes a deeper kind of love, and criticism may be the greatest wealth; if a team member has no nurturing value, the leader is unwilling to devote time and energy to criticizing him. But skillful encouragement is also a very good way of spiritual stimulation, and it will inevitably amplify the effect many times. Therefore, at work, leaders must praise more than criticize, encourage more than condemn, and focus on cultivating everyone's ability to think consciously, work independently, and execute spontaneously, so that everyone can continue to grow in the process of accepting criticism and praise. Mistakes are inevitable at work, but it is possible to minimize them. Leaders must find ways to get team members to take the right path and do the right things. In the daily management of a team, team members make a small mistake or have a small problem, such as saying a wrong word, a few cents missing from the account book, etc. On the surface, it may seem like a small matter, but it is entirely possible to form a kind of Bad habits. At this time, it is best for the leader to start with the details and make a fuss out of a molehill so that everyone can be alert at all times to prevent minor mistakes. However, if a big mistake is made and they have to make a fuss out of a molehill instead, everyone should calm down and actively seek to make amends. ways to help each other overcome difficulties. Because there is no point in pursuing responsibility at this time. It will only delay the opportunity for war and make mistakes more mistakes. The opinions and suggestions of team members are of great significance for leaders to make correct decisions. Therefore, leaders should be kind to the opinions and suggestions of team members and respect their ideas and plans. This will create a positive development atmosphere of mutual understanding, mutual trust, mutual support, and mutual encouragement.
(2) Two major relationships must be properly handled
One is to straighten out external relationships. Coordinating external relations is the basis and condition for gaining understanding and support from the outside world and creating a relaxed and harmonious working atmosphere. We must have an overall view and a holistic view, and establish good and honest relationships with party committees, governments, departments, enterprises, media and other levels of society. It is necessary to humbly report to the local party committee and government to strive for their correct leadership and introduce policies that are beneficial to the work; it is necessary to cooperate closely with relevant functional departments and fully rely on the help of relevant functional departments to establish a mutually beneficial and win-win relationship.
The second is to straighten out internal relationships. People are social. Everyone will deal with many people in work and life, and there must be interpersonal problems. Moreover, a person spends eight hours or more every day in the work unit, so the interpersonal relationships within the team are more important. Establishing new types of interpersonal relationships is one of the important conditions for building a harmonious team. Within the unit, we must unite, help each other, be harmonious, be courteous, and respect each other to minimize internal friction. First of all, team leaders must unite and complement each other to form a strong core; secondly, team leaders must unite with team members, and team leaders must develop a people-friendly style; thirdly, team leaders must unite among themselves and cherish their work. The friendship of working together, striving to create a harmonious working environment, achieving "seeking common ground while reserving differences", achieving career success and harmonious friendship with noble conduct, solid performance, and down-to-earth style, planning things carefully, working with concentration, and dealing with things magnanimously; The fourth is unity between superiors and subordinates, departments and departments, and not working on their own and buck-passing.
(3) There are three taboos in promoting team spirit.
1. Conflict. We must adhere to the principle of not dealing with the individual, and avoid confrontation and conflict. In real life, when discussing plans, some people often initiate suggestions, and then others firmly raise objections. Team coordination is difficult to carry out. Both parties insist on their own opinions and refuse to give in to each other. Others do not agree with their opinions and cannot put forward new suggestions. It is very common for teams to be frustrated because differences cannot be resolved and the team is unable to come up with solutions. When encountering similar situations, the team leader can try to be a bystander and not comment on the views of both parties. He can just point out the current situation and problems faced by the team and turn this confrontation into an opportunity for cooperation. ?We might as well see what's reasonable in the opposing opinions, and then see if we can reach an agreement? Or say: "If we can't make suggestions for improvement, we'd better not oppose other people's opinions." ?We encourage different views on things, but we must abandon conflicts between team members due to prejudice or resistance to people.
2. Be polite and agreeable. ?Polite and echoing? The characteristics of this kind of groupthink are: polite, rational, almost no dispute or conflict, but they have other ideas in mind and do not really agree with the team members' views, methods, etc. We should promote speaking up, not only allowing "loyal objections" to exist, but making such objections beneficial to the work and creating the necessary reorganization of polite and accommodating team members.
3. Invisible opposition? It is similar to the polite agreement model on the surface, that is, after someone makes a proposal, everyone agrees with it in person, but is skeptical behind it, does not support or even opposes it. If there is no real consensus among team members, no matter how good the implementation results are, there will be shortcomings. When the phenomenon of invisible opposition occurs, team leaders should help team members recognize the fact of this invisible opposition and its impact on team performance.
Therefore, in order to carry forward the team spirit, we must first resolve the team's rules of procedure and code of conduct. Everything should be based on safeguarding the interests of the team. Avoid: confrontation and conflict, polite agreement, and invisible opposition!
< p>(4) Pay attention to four details?1. Pay attention to details and build trust. The first and most important step in building a cohesive and effective team is to build trust. This means that team members must learn to freely, quickly and calmly admit their own mistakes, weaknesses, failures, ask for help, and be willing to recognize the strengths of others. With team trust, the phenomenon of "working alone" disappears, and the awareness of "cooperation and mutual assistance" will be deeply rooted in everyone's consciousness. Only with trust can everyone cooperate and understand each other. Respecting every member should be the highest purpose of the team.
Every team member, when respected, fully affirmed, appreciated, and trusted, will use their best efforts to fulfill their own responsibilities, treat the cause with infinite loyalty, and devote themselves to cause.
2. Pay attention to details and establish a sense of responsibility. What is team responsibility? Simply put, team responsibility is the personal care and obligation to others in a team. For a member, practicing "team responsibility" means that he must adhere to the correct ideas and be willing to make contributions and sacrifices for others. With team responsibility, everyone will move forward together. This form of full-person participatory management attracts team members to directly participate in various management activities, so that all members not only contribute their labor, but also contribute their wisdom, directly make suggestions for team development, and form a stronger centripetal force.
3. Pay attention to details and communicate well. Communication is very important for team building, because communication can shorten the distance between each other, build good team friendship, and is the guarantee for completing work. Communication is mainly about achieving consensus through the exchange of information and ideas, and coordination is about achieving consistency in actions. Both are necessary conditions for forming a team. Disagreement in understanding and opinions is common between superiors and subordinates, between departments, and between team members. Misunderstandings, suspicions and even prejudices are inevitable, so communication work is also frequent and extensive. Coordination includes many aspects such as coordination of working relationships, coordination of interest relationships, coordination of personnel relations, etc. A large amount of work should be done to straighten out the relationships in all aspects to ensure the connection and coordination of various activities.
4. Pay attention to details and act decisively. Opportunity + keen vision + bold action = success. Team members must be practical, pragmatic, effective, avoid arguments, avoid empty talk, and do everything well in a fast-paced and efficient manner. Within the team, once a decision is made and the goal is determined, it must be resolutely implemented, and all orders and prohibitions must be followed to truly create a harmonious environment that is stable and orderly, fair and democratic, honest and friendly, full of vitality, and united, and where people are motivated and motivated. A good atmosphere where people are united and focused.
