Build On The Collective Effort - A Quick Tip

Guest Contributor - Kari Heistad

The survival of a hive of honeybees is dependent upon the collaborative and collective efforts of every bee. The work of the hive is divided into specific tasks, each with designated worker bees. Only when every bee is doing its work can the hive stockpile the honey needed to survive the cold winter.

A company is like a beehive that depends upon the collective effort of all of its employees. It is critical that each employee understands their role and how it contributes to the success and growth of the company. When each person is valued for their unique contribution and empowered to do their best work, the company will thrive and also survive through their ‘winters’ of hard times.

Action Step: Tell your team members the unique qualities that they contribute to the team.
