Here's how you can overcome the consequences of poor teamwork in a Functional Training organization.

For teams to work together effectively, they need leaders who can guide them, offer their insight and encourage collaboration on a consistent basis. Therefore, ineffective leadership can result in teams feeling disconnected and unmotivated, which can greatly impact their ability to work together. Leaders can take charge of such situations by offering more opportunities for teamwork, helping team members develop their skills and finding ways to incentivize successful collaboration. Successful collaboration often begins with the establishment of shared goals that team members can work toward together. With this, teams may experience challenges if they don't fully understand the objectives of their work.

After assessing the issues, be proactive in setting the team up for success. Define roles and responsibilities based on people's interests and strengths. Get their input, or even develop collaboratively with the team. Be transparent with the issues so everyone is on the same page. Encourage discussion of their role in the issues, not blaming others, and go from there.

Identifying root causes is crucial for effective treatment. Similarly, in a functional training organization, assessing teamwork issues through feedback and observation allows for targeted solutions, ensuring improved performance and collaboration.

Goal setting is one of those aspects that is easy at first, then difficult later on. Setting an overall goal is good. As it breaks down again, knowing your people and their strengths as well as weaknesses will be needed for success. The most effective way I have found is have a conversation. Find out a few personal goals then formulate them with the company or departments goals as closely as possible. Doing this gives them more ownership due to them feeling its not just serving the company, but them as well. Huge motivator to do the best they can.

Trust is vital for patient care. In a functional training organization, fostering open communication and a culture of respect builds trust, leading to better collaboration and a more cohesive team.

Trust is key in everything we do. In the military you are forced to be uncomfortable with trust. What I mean by that is the fact that most are relentless to trust. On my first team I had to learn to trust the ones around me to do their job so I could do mine. The same vice versa. Trust building is not a one time thing. It needs consistency. One of the simplest things I found was that my team mates trusted me faster due to I always did what I said I would. I did not play the political games. the same has progressed me in life. Stand behind what you say and let your actions show the result and some will not like you, but all will respect you.

Skills are needed in today's workforce. Most young individuals today are looking to the next step. The next task to learn and when they slow, they lose interest. To be competitive in the labor pool today consistent growth and expansion is key. Webinars and online classes have been found to be really effective in doing this.
