Gratitude and solidarity are two values that are absolutely not trivial, indeed indispensable in any team. They represent a necessary factor to keep a team united, especially in moments of crisis like those Juventus is going through. If the head and the heart are the basic elements of the success of a group, the first concerns tactics and the second refers to the values that support a team. Putting the group before the interests of individuals, wanting to give back what the club has given is not rhetoric, nor is wanting to feel united in the difficulties of teammates, the coach and the team.
The sense of belonging is often associated by the rhetoric published in the media to the lack of pride of the teams and the lack of respect towards the jersey that you wear.
Instead, it is a fundamental concept underlying team cohesion in any organizational environment. Its relevance was focused on by former General Electric CEO Jack Welch, who to build a high-performance, world-class culture developed a performance-value matrix to guide GE’s rise. Welch’s matrix assesses people along two critical dimensions:
- Performance: how well the person leads and achieves important results
- Values: how well the person embodies and exemplifies the team’s core values
Welch and GE executives have been evaluating employees and managers along the Performance-Values Matrix for years to see how well they performed and how well they fit GE’s culture. As a result, any coach can adapt and adopt this practical and proven Values-Performance Matrix to evaluate, rank and coach team players.
