Innovation can result from an individual’s spark of inspiration, but most of the time it’s an outcome of a work environment that prioritizes teamwork and collaboration. Effective teamwork requires leaders who understand how to inspire their people to:
- Work together towards a common goal or objective
- Collaborate on projects, sharing knowledge and resources
- Provide support and assistance to one another
- Communicate with empathy in person or virtually
- Work effectively with people from diverse backgrounds and with varying skill sets
