2. High Performance Teams
• High-performance teams are more than
merely highly productive.
• A team composed of experienced, capable
people can be very productive until those
people hit an obstacle or are confronted with
an unexpected challenge. This is the point at
which the team either shows its strength or
reveals its limitations.
• Teams that successfully persevere tend to
have certain characteristics:
• A positive team environment
• Collaborative problem-solving
• Leadership

3. • We can break the components of a strong
project team into three areas:
• A strong team requires each of the
individual components. The Strenght is
in Unity!
• The strength of the team in the way the
pieces work together!
• Weakness in one component cannot be
compensated for by strength in another
component!

4. High Performance Teams and Positive
Environment
• A positive environment promotes trust and
respect among team members and increases
performance through more productive work
habits.
• Additionally a positive environment is not
merely an abstract feeling; it is a set of
observable skills that a project manager can
instill. Further, this positive environment
produces two important characteristics of
the high-performing team:
1. Personal ownership of the team goal.
2. Strong interpersonal relationships based
on trust and respect.

5. High Performance Teams and Problem Solving
Skills
• Efficient and effective teams can solve a series
of problems and that they need to learn to
work together to solve those problems. Build
this collaborative capability by focusing on four
team abilities:
• Problem-solving skills tied to an accepted
problem-solving process.
• Understanding and applying multiple
decision modes.
• Conflict-resolution skills.
• Continuous learning.
• Each of these capabilities can be developed by
the team, though not all are simple. Together
they create a truly synergistic result: decisions
and products that are superior because they
are developed by a team with diverse styles
and talents.

6. High Performance Teams and Leadership
• The keystone of our high-performance
framework is the leader who ties the team
together. No team will reach its potential
without one or more people consciously
attending to the health of the team. The key
focus of the framework is the abilities that
the team possesses. The actions a leader
must take to nurture and establish these
capabilities include:
• Attending to the health of the team.
• Maintaining the strategic vision.
• Attending to team members.
• Exhibiting and demanding accountability.
