article: At its core, a team is a group of people working together to accomplish a shared goal. In any teamwork-building effort, you'll need to remind your employees that they need to work together to accomplish that common goal. Remind employees why the team they're on exists, and emphasize the importance of collaboration and cooperation. Prioritize team efforts based on the common goal being worked towards. Consider creating a motto, award, or motivational poster that emphasizes and rewards teamwork. In addition to having a shared goal, you may want to consider drafting a vision statement for your employees to follow. Your vision statement should reiterate the importance of teamwork, shared values, and inclusion in the workplace. Your vision statement should specify what inclusion should look like in the workplace. Try to establish specific behavioral expectations of your team. These expectations should foster a trusting, open, and cooperative environment. Give concrete recommendations for your employees. Don't use abstractions or metaphor; be clear, concise, and specific. As a manager or supervisor, your role is sort of a coach to your employees. But each employee should have a role as well. These roles should be clear to the employees, and should help work towards the shared goal you have for your company. Review each employee's role from time to time, and remind your employees what their roles are. Reiterate responsibilities and expectations when delegating work and assignments. Help your employees find ways to help one another. Miscommunication is threatening to the wellbeing of any organization. It could cause the team of employees to lose focus, trust, and morale. It's better to accidentally over-communicate than to risk under-communicating. Try to understand every aspect of the issue at hand. Clarify errors and clear up misunderstandings as soon as they arise. Reinforce teamwork and cooperation, and recognize your employees' efforts. At some point, if you oversee operations and lead a team of employees, you may encounter someone who rejects teamwork and has a hard time being a team player. This person may be a "loner" type, or might simply not believe in the shared goals you've laid out for your employees. No matter what the situation may be, you'll need to address this behavior head-on to prevent your other employees from being affected. Have a calm, direct conversation with your employee to address his behavior. Explain why his behavior is a problem, and encourage him to modify his behavior for the betterment of your work environment. Remind your employee that he's part of a team, and he must embrace the ethics and morale of that team. Try creating a special niche role for your employee that he can successfully and productively fill. Take his experience, skills, and length of employment into account when designing a role for him.

article: Willpower must be exercised in order to not give in to all sorts of small temptations that face us everyday. If you practice resisting these small temptations, you will lay the foundations for greater willpower in other areas of your life. For instance: Don't buy an item that you want on impulse yet don't really need, such as a coffee, CD, or new shirt. Instead, save your money. Put snacks away in a drawer or cabinet instead of leaving them in plain sight. Go for a brief walk instead of checking your email or social media accounts. Knowing ahead of time what you will do in a situation to avoid temptation or to practice willpower can help you succeed. When faced with such situations, commit to "if-then" statements. For instance: If you are trying to avoid junk food: "If I go to the grocery store and I can't stop looking at unhealthy snacks, then I'll pick up a box of whole-grain cereal instead." If you are trying to avoid drinking alcohol: "If someone offers me a drink, then I'll just ask for a soda." If you are trying to control your temper: "If I start to feel mad, then I'll immediately close my eyes, take a deep breath, and count to ten to calm down." Giving into desires can be pleasurable in the short run, but sometimes holding off on things can increase your overall sense of willpower and satisfaction. There are numerous ways to practice delaying gratification everyday, such as: Taking a shower that is cold at first, and only allowing yourself warm water after a few minutes. Waiting 5 minutes before you eat, even when you are hungry. Fasting for a day (only attempt this if you are healthy enough, and talk with a doctor beforehand). Only allowing yourself to make a desired purchase after a certain period of time, such as a week (this also gives you time to determine if it is something you really want). Research shows that periodically paying even brief attention to your posture, breathing, etc. can boost your willpower and mood. Simple exercises to accomplish this include: Reminding yourself to sit up straight Pausing to take a few deep breaths every so often Getting up from your desk or couch for a 5 minute break every hour Getting exercise is good for your physical health as well as your sense of self-control. By taking charge of your body, you will increase your willpower in other areas of life. Focus on creating a plan for physical conditioning that suits your lifestyle and abilities. Don't be afraid to start out small, and remember that any improvement you can make is worthwhile. The important thing is to stick to your plan. Depending on your experience, try: Taking a 10 minute walk everyday, then increasing it to 30 minutes or more. Creating an exercise routine, whether indoor or outdoor. Playing a favorite sport with friends one or more times a week. Training for a 5k, marathon, etc. Biking to work each day instead of taking a car or public transportation. Climbing a mountain. In addition to physical exercises, you can increase your willpower through mental conditioning. Most importantly, focus on banishing thoughts that bring you down. By practicing self-control in this way, you will feel more in charge of how you feel and think. You can change negative thoughts into more positive ones. For instance, if you are tempted to think "I've never done this before, and don't know what to do," recast the situation more positively by thinking "This is an opportunity for me to learn something new." Avoid particular people, places, situations, media, and other elements of your life that tend to cause you to have negative thoughts. The simple practice of meditation can dramatically increase your sense of self-awareness, boost your mood and health, and reduce stress. If you get in the habit of meditating periodically, even for 5 minutes at a time, you will practice willpower both by sticking to a goal and by deepening your sense of self. Various types of meditation include: Chanting mantras, in which you repeat a word or phrase over and over again. Exercising mindfulness to be happier, in which you focus on your consciousness while meditating through breathing exercises and other techniques. Practices that combine meditation with physical activity, such as meditating on love and doing tai chi. Certain yoga breathing exercises. Visualization techniques. As part of your overall goal of utilizing your willpower, you may want to devote some attention to virtues, such as showing compassion for other beings, being a good friend, practicing patience and honesty, etc. Research suggests that willpower and virtues are related, so do things like: Practicing a random act of kindness each day, such as offering a seat on the bus to someone else, anonymously paying for a stranger's lunch, or giving a compliment to someone in need. Devoting at least one hour a week to helping another person in some non-required way. Volunteering with a community organization. Showing patience with family, friends, coworkers, etc. by resisting the urge to be judgmental.
