听力原文:    How to Build a Strong Team Spirit    No man is an island, especially in a business organization. Whether you are the CEO or the cleaning lady, in an organization you have to consider yourself as part of a team in order for a business to function smoothly. As we know, creating a team environment in a company does not come easy. To effectively build teams, it is important to remember three principles:    [1]Teamwork is biased on a com
panys culture. Companies that encourage open, honest communication and foster employee interaction are in a better position to have good teamwork among employees. [2]Team spirit comes from the top. Building effective teams with the right attitude stems from the highest levels of an organization. Only by flattening the traditional organizational pyramid can one expect to instill the right team culture.    [3]The staff must fit the culture. Some people are team players and some arent. Its partly a question of personality and partly a matter of training. One person in the team with the wrong attitude can frustrate and even do harm to the effort of the entire team.    Teams are not born, theyre built. Heres how to go about building an effective team.    First, start at the beginning—[4]Hire people who fit into the companys team culture. [5]Use interviews and pre-employment assessments well to determine a persons personality and traits. Look for cooperation and a willingness to listen in order to determine whether an applicant can work well in a team environment.    Second, let everyone know where youre going—[6]This means making employees part of the strategic planning process and making sure they understand the goals. Its important that every team member buys into the plan.    Third, [7]hold the team a
ccountable for results—Establish clear team and individual expectations. Make sure everyone understands that its the result of the teams work that counts. Base your reward system on the teams ability to achieve its goals. Provide individual recognition based on contribution to the team effort.    Fourth, keep communication lines open—[8]Encourage frank and open communication among team members and management. Solicit ideas and suggestions from team members on ways to better achieve the teams goals.    [9]Fifth, resolve team conflicts immediately—Work to correct performance, attitude or ethics problems of individual team members when it is possible. If the person just doesnt fit into the team mold, replace him or her with one who does in order to protect the integrity of the team.    Sixth, keep morale high—[10]Team members function best when their individual contribution to the team are recognized. This, in turn, leads to a strengthening of the team spirit among its individual members. Making employees realize that they are part of one team is the best antidote to an insular, narrow-minded work attitude. This will create a willingness on the part of everyone to pull in one direction, regardless of the job or task at hand.    With all the advice, I believe it is resourceful enough. Now, it is your turn to think how to use the knowledge I offered to build your own team.
