#GoalChat - Teamwork with Darlene Hawley, Christy Maxfield & Wendy Parslow
This week on GoalChatLive, Deb Eckerlingtalked about teamwork with leadership and business coach Darlene Hawley, Christy Maxfield of Purpose First Advisors, and senior leader Wendy Parslow. Teamwork is “the combined action of a group of people.” It impacts your personal – as well as your professional – life.
I was on #GoalChatLive with Deb Eckerling. I had a beautiful conversation with Deb, Christy, and Wendy. We engaged in a lively discussion on the intricacies of teamwork, leadership, and effective communication, in an interview conducted by Deb Eckerling. This enlightening conversation, featured in a blog post and podcast, offered valuable insights and practical advice for those looking to enhance their team dynamics.
Here's few things we touched on:
Teamwork Defined:
- Darlene emphasized that teamwork entails people coming together with a common mission or vision while leveraging their individual skillsets.
- Wendy stressed the importance of everyone knowing their contributions to the team's goals.
- Christy highlighted the significance of understanding how one's skills complement others, ultimately building something greater than the sum of its parts.
- Wendy summed it up beautifully with the equation: 1 + 1 = 3, signifying the synergy that can be achieved through collaboration.
- A memorable reminder from Darlene was that in teamwork, there is no "I" - it's about collective effort and shared success.
Leadership Tips:
- Christy encouraged individuals to reflect on how they want to present themselves, whether as a leader or participant within the team.
- Darlene suggested tackling those challenging conversations by scheduling, practicing, and taking action to resolve them.
- Wendy advocated for identifying friction points within the team and working collaboratively to find solutions.
- Wendy also emphasized the power of vulnerability in building relationships, suggesting that individuals should seek opportunities to ask questions and seek advice.
