We have all seen the immense difference to results when a team is together pulling in the same direction compared to one that is not. We’ve seen this throughout the World Cup 2010 with France, Italy and sadly England.
It seems that regardless of how much Fabio Capello screamed from the touchline, the England players still gave lacklustre performances. Time and time again we have heard that the English squad has not been a happy camp. Were they bored in the training camp? Could they understand their manager? Was it a frustrated backlash against their manager’s refusal to let them play how they wanted to?
Regardless of how good the individual players are meant to be, individuals cannot win the World Cup on their own. The same applies to business. Businesses are formed of teams and the most successful businesses are often the ones who work best and communicate together.
Is your company winning as you would like? Is communication a problem? Or are frustrations and misunderstandings affecting performance?
Various surveys have often revealed that when employees were asked to sum up the key goals their employer was looking for from them, the answers given were considerably different to those given by the employers. A reason for frustration! And not hitting GOALS!
