Teamwork is for SUCCESS
Success means different things to different individuals. In the professional world, a promotion, a large commission from a sale, or acceptance at a prestigious university like Yale could define it. Although they are major feats and can be used as a yardstick for success, others focus on accumulating worldly possessions – the latest BMW model, for example – to measure achievement.
However, personal and professional triumphs are imbedded in daily life and can be found in activities such as finishing the company annual report on time, setting up a play date for the children, and writing that long-overdue email to a dear friend.
Sharing and celebrating success with others can motivate, also push someone towards achieving, creating more triumphs, encouraging one and others to go beyond their perceived potential. For starters, here are a few reminders why sharing one another’s successes is important.
- Success is a celebration! Invite family or a friend to join you for a fun movie and dinner. What better way to strengthen relationships?
- Victory shared is joyful, creates positive energy all around, and inspires others.
- Shared success is a confidence builder for oneself and colleagues.
- Because success is deeply personal, sharing an accomplishment with a friend, family, or colleague produces an equally deep feeling of satisfaction of having hurdled a major challenge.
- One’s physical and mental well-being is greatly improved by the endorphins produced when sharing the good news of success with others.
- Sharing success with others will, at a personal level, start an improved and deeper dialogue.
- Most of all, spending time with colleagues thru sharing large and small successes allows managers to understand staff values and helps foster positive employee-employer relationship.
In an office setting, achievements do not happen because of one person. Success occurs because the work is shared and each team member contributes to the task. Staff brings their own meaning in experiencing triumphs. Owning and celebrating achievements with others is when success is sweet.
