The Power of Many

The recent snow storms are a great illustration of the power of many. When neighbors worked together, the overwhelming task of clearing snow became easier. Work goes smoother when people work together to help each other out. The same goes for the workplace. When people unite with a common vision and strategy, results improve. Factors critical to success include trust amongst the participants, clear communication and having the incentives aligned. In the snow example, neighbors working together to clear their common street have a goal of gaining access to the rest of the neighborhood. By taking different sections, neighbors are clear on how the work is to be done and when. The incentive is everyone can get out. Try this at work and you will be amazed at the power of many.
