Each human being
is different and brings to the forefront his or her
unique personality. When people are brought together
in a team each brings these unique elements with them.
The success or failure of a team depends on how well
the differences and the similarities are then managed.
As the need for successful teams to have varied professional
expertise is becoming more necessary, people from various
areas of discipline such as technology, marketing, accounting,
and sales are also coming together to develop and launch
new products. Understanding the diversity amongst your
local team of employees allows an organization to maximize
the output of its human capital.
As differences in work ethic, time commitment, business
priorities, and communication styles are understood
it lessens the challenges and frustrations that may
have otherwise dominated the team dynamics. Misunderstandings
among teams can lead companies to lose revenue. Understanding
your team and maximizing its strengths is key to business
success.
