Team synergy occurs when team members work together to achieve better results. It is one of the most important characteristics to look for in any organization.
Delegation is the process of assigning a project or activity to someone else while remaining responsible for its outcome.
How to Establish Team Synergy
One should learn that team synergy is more than just working together. It can’t be achieved by just putting individuals into a group.
To establish team synergy, people who manage teams must first learn how to delegate better first.
Many managers, supervisors, and leaders fall short of delegation because they believe it is just passing the workload on to someone else. But it is not, it is about careful selection and proper intention.
Careful Selection means finding the right people for the tasks.
The person you choose should demonstrate observable ability, initiative, and awareness. What you are looking for is not an assistant but a person who will take the role.
It is like playing a mobile game where you have a team line-up where there must be a healer, a brute, a marksman, a mage, and a fighter. Imagine playing mage if your forte is being a fighter. That will be frustrating and of course, it will cause hindrance in winning.
There is a role that everyone should fill in on your team to obtain success. So careful selection must be practiced in order to make sure to take the top spot.
Proper Intention means wanting to see the growth of each team member.
Delegate to help people to develop new skills and competence and so demonstrate their ability.
Delegation is an effective tool for strategic planning, personal development, and pursuing and promoting development. As the team begins to receive team tasks, they gain experience and can take on even more responsibilities that could hone them, it is a process of creating a pool of skills.
10 Building Blocks of Breakthrough Teams
Delegation and Team Synergy
“If you want to do a few small things right, do them yourself. If you want to do great things and make a big impact, learn to delegate.” ― John C. Maxwell.
Team Synergy will be hard to achieve if tasks are not delegated properly to the team members.
The big picture must be relayed to the team members and cracking it into small tasks for each member is a process of establishing team synergy.
This is a chemistry of teamwork, everybody is on the same page and knows that they are interdependent with each other.
Leaders who learn to work on this will not have a problem building momentum for success.
