Elements Of An Ideal Team Experience

6 Ideal Essentials Needed To Build A High-Performing Team 🔥

Over the years, after working with countless teams and organizations, I’ve noticed that when teams aren’t functioning optimally, it’s rarely due to a lack of technical skills.

Instead, the issues tend to revolve around 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗮𝗹 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗻𝗴𝗲𝘀, like:

𝗦𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗮𝗹 𝗜𝘀𝘀𝘂𝗲𝘀:

1. Lack of clarity around roles, expectations, and deliverables.
 
2. No shared understanding of the team’s purpose or how it aligns with the organization’s strategy.
3.
4. Absence of performance management and personal development plans.

𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗜𝘀𝘀𝘂𝗲𝘀:

5. Unhealthy conflict and little or no constructive feedback.

6. Low trust, resulting in people feeling unsafe or criticized.

7. Lack of collaboration, leading to siloed work.

8. High stress and low resilience.

9. Poor quality relationships within the team.

 
Although the term high performance might not always come up, if you asked anyone to describe their 𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗮𝗹 𝘁𝗲𝗮𝗺 𝗲𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲, they’d likely say things like:

– I want us to support each other and learn from our mistakes.
– I want to feel trusted and trust my colleagues.
– I want clarity on my role and expectations.
– I want to be valued and respected.
– I want good working relationships.
– I want my work to be meaningful.
– I want to be listened to.
