Reward the team, not the individual

If reward is linked to a person's individual performance and job title then you are encouraging people to pursue success as an individual. This undermines teamwork and peoples' sense of team.

Actively support the integrity of teams. Through your actions foster the conviction that a team will always be better than any individual at solving a problem and that success as a team is more important than individual success or success at any cost.

Reward a team for its success and let it decide how to share the reward.
