There are many thing which stop an team members from co-
operate with other
team members. Such as – Shyness, Ego, Jealousy, Lack of
Confidence etc.
That’s how managers can get employees to co-operate with
others :
SHARING
LEARNING
TEACHING
RESPECT
RESPONSIBILITY
Co-operating With Others
SUBLIMATING PERSONAL INTEREST FOR THE GREATER GOOD OF THE TEAM
Sublimating personal interest for the
greater good of the team is to modify your
emotions or inspirations of personal life to
work for the team.
SHARE INFORMATION
Sharing is the joint use of a resource or space. Sharing is a basic
component of human interaction and is responsible for strengthening
social ties and ensuring a person’s well-being. Most importantly it
strengthen the bonding between team members. But now a days
Team members don’t want to share information with each other
because of competition and gaining attention from leader or boss. So it
is a big challenges in managing teams.
Imagine the scene. A FedEx 727 jet and a giant U.S. Air Force
cargo jet at an impasse on the taxiway, another jet trying to
reach a parking spot at the terminal, another headed for a
runway, U.S. Navy and Canadian helicopters swarming
overhead, a Bolivian DC-10 just landing, and a Boeing 757
carrying former President Bill Clinton just landing. What a
nightmare! In the first few days after the devastating
earthquake in Haiti, the airport in the capital city, Port-Au-
Prince, was a chaotic free-for-all.70 Aid planes were jostling
for space on the single open runway and landing randomly.
Then, the evening after the earthquake, a small team of U.S.
Air Force special-operations troops whose job is to control
air traffic set up to do what they’ve been trained to do.
The airport’s control tower was too badly
damaged to be used. So, operating from a
folding table on a patch of dirt, the team
worked to safely bring in much-needed supply-
laden cargo jets. It didn’t take long to establish a
system. Haitian aviation officials, assisted by
American and Canadian air traffic controllers,
contacted planes 30 or 40 miles out and kept
order as the aircraft headed toward Portau-
Prince. When the planes got within 10 or 20
miles, the Air Force team of controllers took
over and guided the aircraft onto the lone
runway. Despite the system, the team of
controllers found themselves in conflict with
arriving pilots and their governments. For
instance, one argument arose with a French
crew over who got to land first and stay parked
the longest. Despite the challenges, the small
team safely directed traffic in the crowded
skies. Over the days and weeks, planes were
able to take off and land every five minutes,
Q1 # As this story illustrated, sometimes teams have
to move quickly. How do you get a team up and
running quickly?
Answers:
To get a team up and running quickly takes everyone
understanding and adopting the group goals and
professionalism on the part of members. In this case, lives were
on the line. The population was devastated and needed
immediate assistance. The air traffic controllers also
understood the danger posed by having so many aircraft fly and
land in a congested area.

Editor's Notes

  • #3 Esprit de corps espiritu sang grupo naga refer sa pag kaisa, pagtililipon sa isa ka grupo nga may common goal. Sa isa ka team ang esprit de corps nagabulig nga mangin mas motivated kag committed ang tagsa ka miyembro to achieve their common goal.
