Introduction Effective cross-functional teaming is vital to the success of a company. Successful companies possess common traits in how its employees execute on tactics. A common trait employees at properious companies have is the ability to collaborate and work well with other employees in different departments that they rely upon for support or assistance to complete a common goal or objective. “Functional tactics are the key, routine activities that must be undertaken in each functional area—marketing, finance, production/operations, R&D, and human resource management—to provide the business’s products and services” (Pearce & Robinson, 2009, p. 309, para 4). Functional managers who provide clear functional tactics enable their employees. Clear functional tactics and direction enable employees to understand what they need to do in their day-to-day work and thereby strengthens accountability.
