Improving Team Performance – Part One

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  • Like families copying what they saw growing up, teams often rely on outdated concepts, behaviors, and performance measures without a true understanding of a Team system.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.
