High performing teams don’t just happen

High performing teams don’t just happen, they have a common sense of purpose and a commitment from everyone within the team.  They also gain more than other teams because they have a high level of trust in one another’s capabilities and achievements.  They know what is expected of them, are constantly looking at ways in which they can improve and involve others along the way.  Successful teams are perceptive to one another’s differences, recognising that the strength of the team is so much more than that of the individual.  High Performing Teams manage conflict well and are quick to find resolution using a wide variety of problem solving techniques, however as with any thriving team, they still need direction, challenge and support to achieve the goal.
