Teamwork provides several benefits. It can improve quality, flexibility, coordination, and satisfaction while allowing members to develop their skills. Effective teams go through several stages of formation, storming, norming, and performing. Within a team, members take on various roles like innovator, worker, monitor, and completer. To be effective, teams must recognize their group process, plan with a shared vision and objectives, and link objectives to evaluations so members understand what is expected of them.
The 6 Patterns of High Performing TeamsDeidre Paknad
Great Teams Exhilarate — What Sets Them Apart?
There is nothing quite like the sensation and satisfaction of being on a high performing team. I’ve had this luck and pleasure a number of times in my career, but it’s rarer than I’d like. High performing teams seem to generate their own energy and elevate everyone on the team to their full potential.
Despite achieving more, working on these teams is less taxing — the workday feels shorter and less frustrating.
So what sets high performing teams apart and why aren’t all teams so successful and fun?
High performing teams aren’t just a collection of strong individual performers, although that certainly helps. They don’t leave great performance to luck or personality, they design for success.
Here are 6 tangible and actionable attributes of high performing teams:
1. Defined Goals
Defined goals and a clear plan to achieve them are essential to great performance. Abstract annual goals aren’t enough — teams need shorter-range, compelling and clear goals that unify and galvanize them on shared purpose. Sequencing these to an annual result works well, but it’s key the team wants to achieve the goals.
2. Committed Actions
Successful teams write down the committed actions each person owns on the path to goal achievement (and they waste less time determining who owns what). Members feel a sense of personal ownership and have a shared intention to accomplish the results they’ve committed to the team week over week. Making progress on actions aligned with a goal people believe in energizes people and elevates their performance, according to author and Harvard professor Teresa Amabile.
3. True Transparency
Facts and status enable members of the team to work more effectively together, pivot or adjust course quickly on unforeseen events, and execute with greater efficiency and predictability. Embracing transparency is one of the most distinct features of high performing teams (and a stark contrast to the politicized and professional “ball hiders” that frequent lesser performing teams). Moreover, the activity required to achieve transparency improves the odds of goal achievement: people with written goals and actions alone have a 43% goal achievement rate while adding status reports against goals boosts the likelihood of achievement to 76%.
4. Unabashed Accountability
The team leader and members hold themselves and each other accountable for their commitments and goal achievement week to week. When the team or a person comes up short, it’s not swept under the rug — it’s triaged and addressed quickly to get back on track to goal. There is a uniform expectation of each other, that when combined with a uniformly high level of commitment to goal, are the essence of a high performing team’s greatness.
5. Frequent Feedback
Members of the team get and ask for regular feedback on their work. Learning members get positi

In an ever-changing world where we are all being asked to do more with less, the cracks are starting to show. Global studies of organisations highlight the unrelenting need for uplift in performance - yet many of those responsible for the uplift (managers and teams) indicate they don't have any more to give. Within this environment, the productivity and role of teams becomes critical to success. Experience tells us however that not only do many teams fail to reach their full potential; they can in fact unknowingly impede their own performance.
In this presentation, you will learn:
1. How focusing solely on improving performance can actually undermine its effectiveness.
2. Successfully coaching a team is actually like a marriage - it needs continued investment, honest dialogue and support to make it a success.
3. Practical tools and tips to coach your team or the teams you are responsible for to new levels by focusing on the drivers of exceptional performance.

Teams and team coaching are the forces driving most organizations. Hence, it is important for a manager to lead by coaching his or her to perform effectively. This presentation shares some key fundamental tips to team coach toward successful performance .

Ask yourselves which roles need playing and when; this is just a sample of roles; you saw other samples in our exercise and also in the visuals above.
Try to play to your own strengths and identify others who can plug in for your weaknesses. No one can easily play all roles; that’s why we have teams. Be realistic. What are your strengths? Your weaknesses? This helps you to seek out balancing people in your work teams.
