How often do people change the world by themselves? A great idea may begin as a spark of inspiration from a genius individual, but it takes a team to make it happen, and turn that idea into reality. Collaboration is the true key to success, so we've put together a collection of insights and ideas around encouraging teamwork and synergy — courtesy of Post-it® Brand.

Group dynamics
Incredible ideas are often the result of relationships built on mutual trust and respect. You can help to encourage such collaboration and ideas by following these simple guidelines:
-
Ask your colleagues to discuss the strengths and opportunities they’re looking to build on.
-
Create a team charter. Identify your team’s goals/expectations and assign responsibilities based on strengths/areas of focus.
-
Strongly encourage counterpoints and differing points of view during meetings. Too much consensus can often be counterproductive.
-
Take time to celebrate. Whether you’ve had a brilliant lightbulb moment, or you're simply wrapping up for the day, make sure to come together and applaud the progress that you've all made together.
