Let me ask you a question: As a leader, how well do you know the people who work closest to you? Do you know the events of their lives that have shaped who they are today? Do you know their dreams and plans for the future? Leaders use relationships and strong bonds to foster great collaboration.
In supporting a team atmosphere, leaders leverage relationships to make sure there's alignment between their workers' personal goals and the company's business goals. When it's clear that there's misalignment, leaders must find a happy compromise (as long as it doesn't hurt the business).
Supporting and leading teamwork extends to valuing workers' input on things like hiring and promotion decisions. Leaders may even charge the team with new team member performance to show trust in their judgment.
In the end, ensuring a strong team approach comes down to leaders checking their egos at the door and relying on the collective wisdom of the team.
