“Telling stories is a way of understanding things: we tell stories to children so they fall asleep, but we also tell stories to adults and professionals to wake them up.” (Jorge Bucay)
Surely you know the little story of 4 people – from your team?
Everyone, Someone, Someone, Nobody:
„Once there was an important task to be done:
and everyone was asked to do it.
Everyone was sure that Someone would do it.
Somebody could have done it but nobody did.
Someone got angry because it was simply everyone’s job.
But Everyone thought Someone could do it.
But nobody realised that everybody wasn’t doing it.
It ended up that Everybody blamed Somebody and Somebody blamed Somebody when Nobody did something that Everybody could have done.“
Good teamwork succeeds when we have transparecy and communicate without fear recognising often hidden cultural structures. Shared responsibility means being able to communicate your perceptions to others transparently, openly, concretely and clearly. Making them visible so that we can then look for the best solutions together and tackle challenges with relish. Good communication always involves both the responsibility to seek out information and to share it openly, never based on the idea that information is power.
The aim is… To utilise the knowledge available in the team, develop identification and motivation and create genuine and clear team structures.
Your benefit… An appreciative, honest, friendly and clear working atmosphere for the benefit of the employee, your customer and therefore the company.
Only by working together can we define processes and successfully implement them.
