Chapter 6 - Optimize Teaming
Team Rhythm
A rhythm guitar is strummed in a way that supports the chord structure and the beat of the music. The individual strings work cooperatively to create a cohesive sound within the music. Like a guitar, all of the team-members within a group must work cooperatively to be able to create a cohesive team that supports the theme of the overall organization. A leader sets the right chord within the team and creates the right beat to get the team in rhythm.
