Reward teams not individuals

The title says "reward teams not individuals". This theory is meant for fostering team sprite among employees because team builds projects not an individual.

This is a very common case that in order to execute a project efficiently and successfully the coordination between team mates is vital. Let us assume that inherently people are selfish, they believe in buck passing, leg pulling. We will solve these problems.

Let us go to the root of the problem. Right from our childhood we are rewarded for personal excellence hence we tend to be selfish. We always find incentive in being selfish. If we find incentive in being unselfish, helping team, helping project naturally we will start becoming unselfish.

To start with there should be provision for best team award rather than best employee award. Any situation can be rewarded where people have shown coordination and team sprite. Team sprite should be inculcated into people by their leaders. Bosses has a big role to play in this scenario. They should carefully watch the behavioral pattern of employee. This theory is the answer to the problem called "workplace rivalry".
