Teamwork – “Unity is strength”

Ho Hai An - Deputy General Director of the Group/Director of Hoa Binh Minh Ceramic Tile Company: “Groups need to have a common goal, then cohesion will naturally arise. In a team, each person will have different working methods, the task of the team leader needs to know how to break down communication barriers to find the most common ground between individuals to bring them together. Only when they are not afraid to communicate, exchange and share will people understand and unite, know each person's strengths to assign appropriate tasks to help them develop their capacity." According to him, in order to be able to communicate directly with each individual, a group should only be within 12-15 people, and should not exceed 25 people at most. When working in groups, individuals will not be limited, but on the contrary, will promote the strengths of each person.

For effective teamwork, the most important thing is to determine the common goal - this is the guideline for the group's activities, then assign tasks - clearly define the roles and responsibilities of each member and always uphold teamwork, close cohesion to work together to create a unified block, optimize labor efficiency.
