The Foundation: First Principles and Non-Negotiable Norms
Every high-performing team is built on a strong foundation. It is important to establish clear, non-negotiable principles that dictate how a team operates. These create alignment, set expectations, and foster trust. For example, one such principle could be Focus on Solutions, Not Problems: "Instead of dwelling on obstacles, team members are encouraged to think creatively and proactively, always bringing ideas for resolution to the table." This mindset shift drives continuous improvement and collaboration
Keeping Momentum: Navigating the "Middle Muddle"
While projects often start and end with a burst of energy, maintaining momentum during the middle phase is where the challenge lies. Keep the team engaged by celebrating milestones, recognizing individual contributions, and consistently reinforcing progress. By doing so, teams can stay motivated and focused throughout the journey.
The Three Cs of High-Performance Teams: Community, Communication, and Convergence
1. Community: This is about social bonding and creating a shared mission. We have all seen the impact of missions like ‘One Ford’.
2. Communication: Effective communication is not about being agreeable but about having the courage to thrash out differences respectfully.
3. Convergence: Aligning diverse talents and perspectives towards common goals.
