Teamwork is imperative to business succession simply because you cannot do it all.
The call for teamwork extends to your business partners, supporting family members, aspiring successors, key managers, employees, vendors, suppliers, advisors, and of course you as the owner. However, teamwork is not a natural behavior in business, as those involved tend to be competitive, ambitious, aggressive, and want personal recognition. But team dynamics can be taught, supported and ultimately embedded within your company’s culture if all involved are truly dedicated to high quality, high performance and high customer satisfaction.
As the business owner, it is critical that you set the standard for teamwork and encourage all those involved in your business to be team players who work in alignment towards the achievement of business goals.
