10. The eighT C’s
 CondiTions: Practices – including policies and incentives – need to support teams. Teams must
have the resources that they need to be successful, leaders must show that teamwork matters, and
good team performance must be recognized and reinforced. You can have the best team in the world
but if the conditions are not optimal for teamwork, organizations won’t get the behavior, cognition, or
attitudes needed.
 CooperaTion: Team members must like being on their team. This means that members need to
trust each other and each member needs to contribute to the team’s work. When members fail to
contribute (the “social loafing” syndrome), teams may experience greater conflict and reduced
satisfaction and performance.
 CoordinaTion: Effective teams foster mutual support, adaptability, and flexibility. Effective teams
coordinate their processes to match the requirements of their tasks. For example, teams dealing with
emergencies should increase their communication by verbalizing their plans and sharing their
information.
 CommuniCaTion: Communication occurs in a precise, timely and clear manner. Effective teams
have protocols in place for exchanging information, their members communicate face-to-face as often
as possible, their members contribute equally, and contributions are succinct and to-the-point.
 CogniTion: Team cognition is unique from individual cognition and involves a shared
understanding of tasks and member roles. Effective teams have a shared understanding of their tasks,
member roles and capabilities, and their equipment.
 CoaChing: Leaders promote teamwork and care about team members. Effective team
leaders facilitate their teams by building trust, establishing norms, engaging in teambuilding, and
focusing on the conditions that promote success.
 ConfliCT: Effective teams provide a climate where it is safe to deal with conflict. This climate is
called psychological safety, and is promoted by active listening, looking for common ground, and
expressing concern for the relationships between members by focusing on problems not people.
 laCk of ClariTy: And the biggest team killer is another C, lack of Clarity. This is defined as the
lack of clarity in roles and responsibilities – who does what, when, why and with whom. Team
members must know their precise roles and responsibilities.
