Improving Team Performance – Part One - Boniface Edward Consulting

Intro:
We live, work, and even play in teams. Yet despite how common teams are, many of them underperform. Why? It’s not a lack of talent or intent. A lot of times it comes down to lack of a disciplined view and approach to Team performance.

Main Points:

Teams are everywhere: in families, companies, sports, and even social circles.
Dysfunction is common because most teams never intentionally build the structure or habits of high performance.
Like families copying what they saw growing up, teams often rely on outdated concepts, behaviors, and performance measures without a true understanding of a Team system.
Research suggests employees only deliver about 4.8 hours of focused work during an 8-hour day—often due to built-in suboptimization in the system and environment, not laziness. Three of the best movies which depicting this concept are “Big” “The Office” and “Gung Ho”.

Takeaway:
If we want better results, we need to do more than hope teams figure it out. It will require intentionally designing environments conducive to high-functioning, performance Teams.
