This PPT is a tool to help focus a team / group / or stakeholders into a high performance team. It concentrates on results, commitment, processes, communication, and trust.
I created this tool as a means to transition a team through the four stages of team maturity: forming, storming, forming, and performing.
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
Have you ever considered what keeps executives up at night? Beyond a generic interview question, the root cause of their insomnia is usually associated with aligning qualified talent with key positions that enable an organization to effectively execute its business strategy. Not only are companies investing in high-impact leadership development programs, they are also allocating funds to hire organizational consultants who can design strategies that breed succession depth among a diverse slate of internal talent. This session is loaded with practical gems that will aid any organization in building a solid bench of exceptional internal talent.
Very often we use the word team work in our organizational context without perhaps fully understanding what we mean by teamwork.
An effective team requires the participation of every member in order to be successful. When one person cannot accomplish a job alone and several individuals must cooperate to fulfill a mission, you need a team. The better the cooperation, communication and coordination among members, the more efficient the team.
Build Relationships, Enhance Team skills and learn to work more effectively together. Our team building programs help your team get to know each other better in a non-work setting. All of our activities enable participants to work together in a fun, informal team environment, which helps break down barriers and develop a lasting camaraderie that your team will take back to the office.

“The merging of distinct technologies, industries, or devices into a unified whole.”

Advertising, marketing, media buying, branding, public relations and media relations have converged.
