CREATING HIGH PERFORMANCE TEAMS

SUMMARY

It is not enough to have very highly skilled individuals in any organisation, it is even more important that the individuals learn to work in teams and apply their hearts to what they do. In every organisation the output of the whole team should be much greater than the sum of the individual outputs put together.
Research shows that teams go through a cycle of forming, storming, norming and performing. Companies need to understand and respond to these cycles. Apart from the “hard” targets like turnover, profit, productivity and so on teams also bond into high performing teams on “soft” issues such as honesty, transparency, trust and support for each other.
Effective teams have been identified as a core factor to organizational success.

1. Surrender individual interests to the common interest; build a sense of interdependency i.e. Build a convergence of the “I” of the individual to that of the “Team” aspirations.
