high task orientation meets high people orientation

A SENSE OF "WE" THAT ENABLES HIGH PERFORMANCE.

The renowned communication scientist Paul Watzlawick already stated that the success of a team or an organization is closely linked to the quality of the relationships between the individual members. Top teams have a high task orientation and an equally high people orientation. They feel connected to each other not only on a factual level, but also in human terms.

But what does connection really mean?

When team or organizational members are connected to each other, they do not only share the same vision, but also common values that enable a culture of psychological safety and thus organizational development and growth.

Such a connecting culture makes itself felt in an appreciative and authentic attitude, a shared understanding of the goal and purpose of the work, and ultimately a consensus on how to work together through clear principles of collaboration. Members identify with the organization and support each other. Such a corporate culture also makes it possible to act in a solution-oriented and "free from disruption" manner, and to effectively develop the competencies and potential of all participants.
