Is Your Project Team Worth the Effort?

 

I hope Jo Ann Sweeny won't mind if I talk about this, but her WorthWorking Summit caught my eye this morning. "We all know employees give of their best when they believe their company is worth working for," she says. "Uncover how to improve employees' attitudes and behaviors so yours is a company worth working for."

Although her post is an ad for the conference, it got me thinking about the work environment and whether or not our project teams are worth the effort ... or worth working for. I wonder if worthwhile teams have something in common? You might want to check out the conference and see if it's something you might be interested in. The link above will take you there.

In the mean time, I would welcome your thoughts on what makes your teams worth the effort. I think it's safe to say that a great team culture or dynamic is important, but I have to believe that there's more to it than that. Share what you do, and we'll post the results in a few days. It will be interesting to see what project managers in the real world do to keep teams motivated and engaged.

What do you do to make your project team worth working for?
