Building a High-Performance Team

Every employee Is a unique individual. Each employee brings his/her life experiences that have shaped who they are. So, what they do always makes sense to them - or they would not do it. Then organizations put these individuals in a ‘team’ with employees whose backgrounds are very different from theirs. And we ‘expect’ them to work together effectively.

High-performance teams:

• Are committed to a shared purpose & goals
• Have open, effective communication
• Share mutual accountability for the team’s performance
• Are committed to continuous improvement
  
  

Everyone wants high-performance teams, but they require leaders who understand and are capable of leading their teams through multiple natural obstacles.
