To be most effective, teams should have the authority to prioritize what?

In a team setting, prioritizing team goals over facility goals is essential for fostering strong collaboration and achieving successful outcomes. When team members are empowered to focus on their collective objectives, it encourages a shared sense of purpose and accountability. This can lead to improved morale, increased engagement, and enhanced performance, as the team works cohesively towards their specific targets.

By aligning their efforts on team goals, members can leverage each other's strengths and work toward solutions that directly benefit their collaborative mission. This prioritization helps ensure that the unique insights and contributions of each team member are utilized effectively, ultimately leading to better decision-making and results that are aligned with the team’s vision.

In contrast, focusing solely on facility goals, individual performance, or external opinions can detract from team cohesion and the collective efficacy that arises when members are committed to their shared goals. Therefore, allowing teams the authority to prioritize their objectives is crucial for effective teamwork and successful outcomes.
