Team Spirit and Moral is Contagious

One of the key things in a all companies, and especially a small company is the team spirit. The moral of a team can be decisivie of what the team achieves and what level it can operate on. This is something that I often notice at the office. In some cases for example one of us might be hyped up, and oftentimes this makes the other guys hyped as well. We all start talking and brainstorming about different situations and in the end we’re all working as hard as we can the whole day just because of that little hype session.

But this is an two edged sword because it goes both ways. If one of us is having a bad day this can bad for the whole team because it can easliy bring others down as well.

I think it is important as a leader to be able to build team moral, but it is extremely difficult to do so all the time. One of the most common ways we build up the team spirit at Cperspective is by having discussions about our personal goals and making them the goal of everyone in the team. The idea is that our goal is not reached until each personal goal of all people involved is reached. This way we all know that we’re working for eachother, and by having regular discussions around this we also keep reminding ourselves that we’re a team where everyone’s goals is equally important.

When you have a small team it’s important to keep the mood up. Even if you have a bad day you should leave it at home because when you’re in the office it’s not about YOU, it’s about the TEAM and what’s best for the team. I know this is impossible to do at all times, but it should be the ideal for everyone who want to work on an optimal level at all times.
