3. The 3 C’s
for Teamwork

4. Collaboration
Our society has moved from the formalistic to the collaborative.
Today, those who work in organizations demand a chance to be
involved, and they expect to have their talents and skills utilized
effectively; they are also willing to participate in activities that will
make the organization perform more effectively. Because it has
become generally accepted that creativity and innovation are traits
widely distributed through the population, managers must be able to
discover and put to use the resources within their teams. Once
creative forces are unleashed within an organization, the potential for
positive results is greatly enhanced.
Building Productive Teams by Glenn H. Varney

5. Commitment
…commitment increases if people know what is going to happen and
if the process makes sense.…Team building is a human process. It
involves human feelings, attitudes, and actions. It is something that
people have to accomplish among themselves. You cannot substitute
high-paid consultants, complex designs, or fancy resorts for human
beings making a mutual commitment to try to work together more
effectively.
Team Building by Glenn H. Varney

6. Cooperation
The dynamics of cooperation and competition have been shown to affect
attitudes and productivity.......cooperative experiences, as compared to
competitive experiences, reduce prejudice, increase acceptance of others,
and heighten morale. Traditionally, competition has been assumed to
motivate productivity. However,(there are clear indications) that
cooperation induces higher achievement and productivity, especially on
more complex task and problems that benefit from the sharing of
information and ideas.
