As a result of this Beyond Apprentice session, the one thing that became clear to me about the value and importance of team vision is: 

 

       Collective body of knowledge is better than individual knowledge

       The ability to agree on concepts & direction

       Everyone has importance in providing an end product

       All aspects of production have to communicate with each other to be successful

       Cooperation and collaboration

       Team building

·          All project team members being on same page with regards to the end goal – being able for team to focus to get to goal

·          Listening to new ideas 

·          Central values and goals 

·          Working together respecting all opinions 

·          It takes all to participate and carry a project 

·          Being on the same page with a diverse group 

·          Once everyone is on the same page, it is easily accomplished. But everyone must buy into the idea 

·          Respect for all members of the team and how important each person is to fulfill a vision 

·          Matching skill to function 

·          It took all associates to complete the task 

·          Working together, listening to all ideas and pulling together as a team 

·          You can’t get there without a team 

·          Listening to others; being open to everyone’s ideas; as a team everything pulls together easier and more complete 

·          Working together to bring together a concept 

·          To first decide on an overall goal & vision & fill in tactical steps last 

·          Everyone has something to contribute 

·          Buy in of the concept 

·          Everyone has input 

·          Keeps the team focused on the task @ hand 

·          How well the “group dynamic” works 

·          Respecting the individuals you work with and allow everyone the opportunity to participate in the task 

·          Dividing up tasks makes a team more efficient 

·          Working together as a team and also choosing a team leader to ensure we are completing the goals 

·          You must get a vision established quickly 

·          Have to be open to ideas and look for best idea, not necessarily your idea 

·          Listening is everything 

·          Leadership to convey group structure and vision is essential 

·          Slotting people according to their primary skill 

·          It was clear to me how necessary it is to get everyone’s input and work together 

·          The team comes up with better ideas than one person 

·          Must bring everyone on the same page 

·          Everyone has to buy into the idea in order for it to truly be a team 

·          Working together as a team to accomplish task; leaders emerge 

·          It takes a “team” approach + trust in the individuals to make the team work 

·          Communication; 1st instincts 

·          Direction 

·          Leadership; thinking out of the box; questioning ideas 

·          You need to work together as a team to complete the project 

·          In order to react quickly to situations, visions must be communicated. Along with that, it has to be “bought” by all team members in order for people to work to a common goal 

·          Working smart 

·          Every person has something to contribute to the company/team’s success 

·          Staying focused to execute the concept in a short period of time 

·          Unity 

·          Multiple heads are better than one 

·          Read the directions thoroughly before anything else; the need for clear leadership 

·          The whole team is critical to success; everyone becomes a component 

·          Teamwork

·          Work together  

·          With good leadership & a vision, a lot can be accomplished in short time and with limited resources 

·          Communication to all departments can only provide quicker results 

·          The visions of all employees is unlimited 

·          Without teamwork nothing gets accomplished 

·          Respecting the value each person brings to the team; patience & willingness to listen

·          Being open and creative 

·          Every member of a team has valuable input 

·          Hearing everyone’s ideas 

·          It takes all members of the team to achieve the goal 

·          There is no “I” in team 

·          Having a cooperative & cohesive agenda; we worked well as a team, but it could have turned out bad if someone had a different agenda or idea 

·          Different ideas coming from so many  ind  ividuals works well & it allowed people to come together well and pull off a great team vision & result 

·          It works! 

·          Rapid organization of work on the task 

·          Organization is key
