Why is successful teamwork so much like a happy marriage? How can you make teamwork more effective?<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s start with this premise:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Happy teams are all alike; every unhappy team is unhappy in its own way.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Have you heard of the Anna Karenina principle? It\u2019s derived from the famous first sentence of Leo Tolstoy\u2019s seminal novel: \u201cHappy families are all alike; every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The principle is as follows: in order for a marriage to thrive, it must succeed in many different respects. If you and your partner argue about money, clash about parenting, or differ in political ideology, you\u2019re doomed to unhappiness \u2014 no matter how happy you are in other areas of your relationship. Back in 340 BC, Aristotle emphasized the same principle a bit differently: \u201cMen are good in but one way, but bad in many.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In other words, success is not about doing just one thing correctly, but about avoiding many possible ways to fail. The Anna Karenina principle, popular in science and math, holds true for a lot of things in life \u2014 including effective teamwork.<\/p>\n<p>If teams want to hit their goals, <a href=\"https:\/\/monday.com\/blog\/productivity\/never-miss-deadline-effective-method-managing-time\/\">meet their deadlines<\/a>, and surpass their KPIs, they need to succeed in all the critical ways \u2014 and avoid all the common pitfalls.<\/p>\n<p>So what exactly is this magical recipe for effective teamwork? In the early days of building monday.com, we spoke with hundreds of managers and discussed all the unique reasons that teams are unhappy. We discovered seven factors that make or break a team\u2019s success.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a class=\"cta-button blue-button\" aria-label=\"Get started\" href=\"https:\/\/auth.monday.com\/users\/sign_up_new\" target=\"_blank\">Get started<\/a><\/p>\n<h2><b>7 secrets to effective teamwork:<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><strong>1. Set clear goals<\/strong><br \/>\nImagine you and your team are climbing Mount Everest. But instead of prepping your team in advance about what you\u2019ll be doing and why you\u2019re doing it, you simply tell them to start hiking. And then direct them where to step next. Step after step. Your team becomes disoriented and unmotivated, ready to give up when the ascent gets difficult.<\/p>\n<p>This is exactly what it\u2019s like if you don\u2019t set clear goals. As a manager, you end up handing out task after task. People don\u2019t understand the greater context of their work and why it\u2019s important, so they feel that their work is endless, pointless, and exhausting. Your team needs a specific, measurable goal to help them prioritize what\u2019s important, drive them towards a definitive result, and give them a sense of achievement when they reach it. This leads us to point number two\u2026<\/p>\n<p><strong>2. Create transparency<\/strong><br \/>\nIf we had to describe what we\u2019re trying to achieve at monday.com in one word, it would be \u201ctransparency.\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/monday.com\/blog\/project-management\/what-transparency-means-to-us-and-why-it-gets-the-best-results\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Transparency<\/a> means making everything \u2014 all information, numbers, plans, and challenges \u2014 readily accessible to everyone on your team.<\/p>\n<p>When you create transparency, you can harness the full intelligence and motivation of your team. Everyone not only knows what you\u2019re doing but why you\u2019re doing it, and they understand how even the smallest task fits into the bigger picture. With transparency, you can set clear goals and get everyone on your team on board. They have all the information they need to do their part to contribute, and may even be inspired to find innovative and creative ways to reach your goal.<\/p>\n<p>In monday.com, transparency is the essence of effective teamwork. The board is the place for you to set a goal, map out a process, assign ownership, and track where everything stands. One simple board holds all the information, and it\u2019s there for everyone to see. No confusion and no meetings!<\/p>\n<p><img alt=\"7 secrets to effective teamwork inspired by the greatest book ever written\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.monday.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/original-3.png20170328-3117-1rsnfkv.png\" height=\"641\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>3. Decide what you\u2019ll complete each week<\/strong><br \/>\nNo one can make sense of where a three-month long project stands from the tasks it\u2019s composed of. You lose connection from reality when you start to obsess over a detailed project hierarchy and which subtask falls where. In real life, actual work is always planned by dates, deadlines, and assignment of responsibility.<\/p>\n<p>Managing by time is simple as making a detailed list of all the tasks your team will complete this week. Assign ownership to make it clear who\u2019s doing what. Reemphasize your goal, and then get to work. Working towards a concrete deadline creates a sense of urgency and forces your team to make smart decisions to reach your goals. As a team, you can then review what you\u2019ve achieved and celebrate your shared success.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a class=\"cta-button blue-button\" aria-label=\"Get started\" href=\"https:\/\/auth.monday.com\/users\/sign_up_new\" target=\"_blank\">Get started<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>4. Recognize people\u2019s accomplishments<\/strong><br \/>\nLoads of scientific studies show that people\u2019s single biggest motivator is not money, but recognition. Being congratulated with a simple, \u201cGreat job for completing [fill in the blank]!\u201d increases employee productivity ten-fold.<\/p>\n<p>But when you mark a task as \u201ccomplete\u201d in a traditional <a href=\"https:\/\/monday.com\/blog\/project-management\/the-complete-project-management-software-list\/\">project management tool<\/a>, what happens? It disappears. No one knows. This kills people\u2019s motivation. That\u2019s the power of \u201cdone\u201d in monday.com: when you complete a task, you can mark it as a green. It\u2019s incredibly satisfying, and even addictive, to mark everything as green and see all your accomplishments line up at the end of each week. And when you and your teammates can easily congratulate each other on a job well done, there\u2019s no better way to build effective teamwork. That\u2019s why we call it \u201cdone therapy.\u201d \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p><strong>5. Focus on processes, not tasks<\/strong><br \/>\nMost team management tools rely heavily on hierarchy. The problem with that is that hierarchies are really hard to navigate, and there\u2019s always a few different ways to construct them. When\u2019s the last time you found a file in a folder on someone else\u2019s computer?<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s easier to instead think about steps and map them out in a flat and intuitive grid. When we spoke with hundreds of managers about how they define effective teamwork, we learned that almost everyone uses spreadsheets or grids to manage their work. It\u2019s a simple way to map out a process and even better, you can replicate it for future processes.<\/p>\n<p><strong>6. Track your work visually<\/strong><br \/>\nUnfortunately for Tolstoy, this is now the era of TL;DR. When you look at a text-based system \u2014 and they\u2019re all text-based \u2014 you need to read to understand where things stand. That\u2019s a problem. As humans, we take in visual information way more quickly than we do verbal information. That\u2019s why traffic lights are colors, not words.<\/p>\n<p>monday.com is completely visual. The colored statuses immediately tell you if something is \u201cdone,\u201d \u201cstuck,\u201d or \u201cin progress.\u201d When you display a board on a screen in your office, everyone on your team knows exactly where things stand. Visuals are effective, not open to interpretation, and clear to everyone.<\/p>\n<p><strong>7. Communicate in one place<\/strong><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.monday.com\/blog\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Email<\/a>, check-ins, chat, staff meetings, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.monday.com\/blog\/remote-work\/top-5-skype-alternatives-businesses\/\">Skype calls<\/a> \u2014 there are endless ways to communicate. And yet crossed wires and broken games of telephone are a continual problem for teams. The result is more meetings, more email, and more wasted time.<\/p>\n<p>Here at monday.com, we\u2019ve eliminated email almost completely and have centralized all communication inside our product. The benefit of this is that all updates are always in context, and you can drag and drop your files (images, docs, whatever) directly into the update. Voila, all the information you need is there, visible to everyone on your team.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a class=\"cta-button blue-button\" aria-label=\"Get started\" href=\"https:\/\/auth.monday.com\/users\/sign_up_new\" target=\"_blank\">Get started<\/a><\/p>\n<h2><b>In a nutshell: What makes teamwork effective?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>In the end, effective teamwork can be summed up as simply as: it\u2019s about people, not projects. So many project management tools treat people as a byproduct or a secondary resource amidst the hierarchy of tasks and subtasks. But that\u2019s a mistake.<\/p>\n<p>When you focus on what makes people tick \u2014 what drives them, what comes naturally to them, what they find enjoyable \u2014 you can harness their full potential to move faster and achieve incredible things together. And that\u2019s what makes monday.com so vastly different from every other project management tool on the market: we focus on all the real factors that actually contribute to effective teamwork.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a class=\"cta-button blue-button\" aria-label=\"Get started\" href=\"https:\/\/auth.monday.com\/users\/sign_up_new\" target=\"_blank\">Get started<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tolstoy doesn&#8217;t need a project management tool, and neither do you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":6209,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_yoast_wpseo_title":"7 Secrets to Effective Teamwork (as Reported by Hundreds of Teams)","_yoast_wpseo_metadesc":"What does successful teamwork look like?
