(Creativity
Room Objectives -2)
I started from last post to write about the objectives of Creativity Room.
I want to remind all that our first objective for the room which I wrote about
in my last post was (Creative Thinking).
In this post, I will mention the second main objective which we are
concentrating on in the creativity room which is (Successful Team Work).
Why we chose this objective? We believe that Successful Team Work is one
of main keys for Success in life and work whether in small or big projects.
Individuals can think, suggest and perform some task, but surely they wouldn’t perform
and achieve like a success team.
Also, UAE & Dubai government beside our organization (DEWA) are
concentrating on team work, so we saw that this objective is important to be set
for our room.
It is not only about team work, but it is successful team work. We
thought about the ways of delivering this objective to staff. First, we agreed
to set the elements of a successful team work. We knew that there are many, but
we chose the following: Leadership, communication, Role Distribution, Planning
& Time Management.
When we conduct any activity concentrating on team work, we ensure that
these elements are delivered to staff. Personally, when I run an activity and
notice that one element is missing, usually the team doesn’t succeed or achieve
the target.
After each activity, we always inform teams while discussing with them
the benefits of the activity that theory part is
important, but implementing these theories is more important.
I saw many times teams starting without assigning a leader and, after
several failures, they realize that leader is important. The same applies to other
elements also like communication or time management.
On the other hand, there are great teams which start with assigning a
leader and have good planning and usually their results will be better unless they
didn’t apply their plan or missed any of the important elements.
One of the things which I benefited also is that communication between
team is very important. When each person listens to the other, he or she will
be closer to success; otherwise, as we say always to teams, “ We are in fish
market not creativity room!!!”
In the next post – Insha’Allah – I will mention examples of activities
which support this objective.
Until that time, see you Insha’Allah J
