Commitment is the glue that keeps your organization on track

Want your team to work better? Produce higher? Move forward faster?

Making a commitment to your team, your organization, yourself... this is a paramount factor in your personal and professional success.

These simple guidelines will assist you and your team in attaining the level of performance that you envision:

• Establish a strong sense of urgency and direction
• Select members based on their complimentary skills, not their personalities
• Set clear rules and expectations of behavior
• Set and seize upon a few immediate performance oriented tasks and goals
• Challenge the group regularly with fresh facts and information
• Spend lots of time together

Here's an idea: Give everyone on your team a duck! Name them, race them, throw them at each other... they're a great tool to reduce stress when working to deadline, or lighten the mood when things are getting tough.

Your corporate culture may affect the commitment and communication in your office too... what do you think?
