Sync Up!
Synchronize: to cause things to agree in time or to make things happen
at the same time and speed
Most work groups express the need to work more collaboratively
and the significance of that aspiration is hard to argue. If you recall our
Dream Team Tuesday Tip, it emphasized that very point.
The notion of synchronizing that collaborative effort struck
me recently as I reflected about the dancing lessons my wife and I took over
the summer.
Dance partners need to gracefully move together; to be in synch.
Several things became immediately apparent as we began to really learn how to
dance together. While the music set the rhythm and pace, it was important for
us to know and follow a specific pattern of dance steps. Being aware,
responsive and adapting to each other’s movements required intense focus and seemed
to be the key ingredient to our ability to dance gracefully together. Finally,
having an awareness of other couples sharing the floor helped us navigate
effectively within the larger group.
In business it’s also important for individuals and teams to
be in synch. Some of the essential elements mentioned above are also necessary
in successfully executing the business plan.
Individual initiatives and team projects all have rhythm, pace and
require a specific application of skills. Being responsive and adapting to the
priorities of the business and other key members of the team requires intense organizational
focus.
