High Performance Teams
• High-performance teams are more than merely highly productive.
• A team composed of experienced, capable people can be very productive until those people hit an obstacle or are confronted with an unexpected challenge. This is the point at which the team either shows its strength or reveals its limitations.
• Teams that successfully persevere tend to have certain characteristics:
• A positive team environment
• Collaborative problem-solving
• Leadership
• We can break the components of a strong project team into three areas:
• A strong team requires each of the individual components. The Strenght is in Unity!
• The strength of the team in the way the pieces work together!
• Weakness in one component cannot be compensated for by strength in another component!
High Performance Teams
High Performance Teams and Positive Environment
• A positive environment promotes trust and respect among team members and increases performance through more productive work habits.
• Additionally a positive environment is not merely an abstract feeling; it is a set of observable skills that a project manager can instill. Further, this positive environment produces two important characteristics of the high-performing team:
1. Personal ownership of the team goal.
2. Strong interpersonal relationships based on trust and respect.
High Performance Teams and Problem SolvingSkills
• Efficient and effective teams can solve a series of problems and that they need to learn to work together to solve those problems. Build this collaborative capability by focusing on four team abilities:• Problem-solving skills tied to an accepted
problem-solving process.• Understanding and applying multiple
decision modes. • Conflict-resolution skills.• Continuous learning.
• Each of these capabilities can be developed by the team, though not all are simple. Together they create a truly synergistic result: decisions and products that are superior because they are developed by a team with diverse styles and talents.
High Performance Teams and Leadership
• The keystone of our high-performance framework is the leader who ties the team together. No team will reach its potential without one or more people consciously attending to the health of the team. The key focus of the framework is the abilities that the team possesses. The actions a leader must take to nurture and establish these capabilities include:• Attending to the health of the team.• Maintaining the strategic vision.• Attending to team members.• Exhibiting and demanding accountability.
