What is a Cohesive Team?
A cohesive team is a group of people who are aligned on their business goals, share a set of common values and have a strong sense of teamwork. Team cohesiveness is built on a foundation of clear goals and a shared vision, good teamwork is essential to building a cohesive team.
Cohesive teams have high levels of trust and commitment among members. These teams are able to work together to accomplish their goals because they all have the same end goal in mind.
Communication and Cohesive Teams
Cohesive teams are able to work toward common goals because they communicate regularly and work on things as a team. Communication is key in any type of team, but it is especially important in cohesive teams because members know what everyone else is doing and can be held accountable for their actions.
Trust and Cohesive Teams
A cohesive team also has high levels of trust and commitment among members. These teams are able to work together to accomplish their goals because they all have the same end goal in mind.
To sum up, what makes a cohesive team or even a cohesive organization is clear goals, a shared vision, solid communication, and a foundation of trust.
Conflict, Accountability, and Team Cohesion
When teams struggle to work together, everyone's focus is lost. Accountability and conflict are two broad topics that are common causes of team problems.
If a member of your team is not held accountable for his or her actions, work will not get done. Similarly, if all members of the team are constantly fighting with one another, the team's productivity and morale will be significantly lowered.
Lencioni's model helps teams to identify the toxic team behaviors that can lead to reduced accountability and increase negative conflict among team members. And, The Five Behaviors Assessment gives teams the insight they need to successfully build cohesive organizations that hold one another accountable while maximizing team performance.
