We’ve all seen or been a part of an under performing team. Sometimes when we are in one, we wonder how we got there. Take a look at the list below and see if any or many fit your situation.
Some characteristics of low performing teams:
• No Outcome Frame; “Where exactly are we going together?”
High performing teams are structured in a way that promotes lasting success.
• Griping about the Larger Organization; “They’re not supporting us like they should!”
• A Low Degree of Participation and Input; “My views are not important.”
• Poor Skills in Open Listening; “I only hear and agree with views that are like mine.”
• Low Commitment to the Objectives; “I don’t really care what we’re doing here.”
• Poor Problem-Solving and Decision Making; “I’m right, you’re wrong!”
• A Purpose which needs Clarification and Redefinition; “I can’t easily explain what we do.”
• An Underdeveloped Self-Assessment Process; “We think we’re on the right track.”
High performing teams are structured in a way that promotes lasting success.
They elicit participation and commitment from their members at the start.
They know exactly where they are going and how they will go about getting there. Most times, the exact steps are not known at the beginning, but there is a process put in place on how they will come up with those steps.
Additionally, good teams are self-aware, review their progress at regular intervals, and make the necessary corrections when needed.
