Team Development and Training
Everyone in an organization is a part of one or many teams. Teamwork and collaboration within any team, whether it be a project team, a work group, or a cross functional team, is critical to organizational success. Below are some characteristics of High Performing Teams.
- Everyone clearly understands the mission, goals and role of the team; everyone knows who is, and who should be, doing what.
- Team members are skilled in group leadership and/or membership functions.
- Team members have a high degree of trust in one another.
- Interaction occurs in a supportive atmosphere. Suggestions, comments, ideas, information, criticism is all offered in a helpful manner. Respect is shown for varying viewpoints.
- Expectations for the group and its members are high. Goals are stretched.
- Individuals or subgroup do not dominate the team; everyone participates and has the opportunity to influence the discussion.
- The team has established procedures for operation including decision making, conflict resolution, and meeting management.
- The team evaluates its performance periodically.
- There is a high level of accountability and commitment.
