Create High Performance Teams

Create Teams That Look Like This:

Each team member supports all others on the team.
People participate with passionate alignment and a commitment to doing whatever it takes to succeed.
Coordinated action in meeting preparation and facilitation.
Participants engage fully in meetings as if they own the quality and outcomes of the meeting. Meetings have a clear purpose and objectives and generate trackable decisions, agreements and actions.
Everyone leads and manages, regardless of their title.
The group focuses on team processes, not just the outcomes.
Process creates opportunities to learn and improve. Improvement is a continuous focus of the group.
Team members consistently self-evaluate to make course changes in support of the goals.
The team learns from both success and failure.
Everyone leads conflict to learning and creativity.
Every team member commits to achieving a metric that may be different for each person. Each metric is tied directly to the overall purpose and result of the team.
The team identifies and drives out 'victim mentality'.
People take on work based on their strengths.
Communication supports team purpose and learning - eliminating arbitrary opinions, gossip, complaining and blame.
The team uses disciplined criteria-based decision making.
The team sets aside time for creative dialog - where questions and learning are more important that certainty and knowledge.
The team turns 'the impossible' into 'the possible'.
