Good teamwork lies at the heart of an efficient,
productive and contented company - but its not something we can buy
off-the-shelf. Teamwork needs to be worked at and thought through. If not,
the best of intentions can quickly fizzle out.
In Your Place in the Team three companies, of similar size
and operating in much the same areas of work are visited in turn by an
independent book keeper. As a result, she has the chance to observe at first
hand the way each company works together.
At the Thornier company,
no one takes responsibility, mistakes are blamed on everybody else, the buck is
passed furiously. At Harmonia, the facade of an apparently happy company masks a
reluctance to face up to problems and a dangerously inefficient laissez-faire
attitude.
The ideal of good teamwork is found at Arcadia, where difficulties are
shared, ideas contributed and problems solved in a positive, constructive
environment.
