Everybody wants to be part of a
winning team...
But there seems to be widespread confusion about what the characteristics
of a "winning team" are.
So here's a checklist of the eight main factors to look for in high-performing team:
- Participative leadership - creating interdependence by empowering, freeing up and serving others.
- Shared responsibility - establishing an environment in which all team members feel responsibility as the manager for the performance team.
- Aligned on purpose - having a sense of common purpose about why the team exists and the function it serves.
- High communication - creating a climate of trust and open, honest communication.
- Future focused - seeing change as an opportunity for growth.
- Focused on task - keeping meetings and interactions focused on results.
- Creative talents - applying individual talents and creativity.
- Rapid response
- identifying and acting on opportunities.
