Ever wondered how a High-Performance Team is created?

Written By Russell Futcher

This training program creates a Self-Managing, High-Performance Team. This is how I do it.

1- Where is the team today?

A discussion to establish a baseline of where the team is today.

  • Known issues.

  • Engagement level.

  • Performance and targets.

2 - Management preparation

Three one-hour sessions on management practice.

  • Team Structure – asks you to think about how you view your team today.

  • Management Style – asks you to think about how you are currently managing.

  • Team Engagement – a session for creating a fully engaged team.

3- Team Workshops

One-hour workshops on high-performance behaviours. These workshops can be cherry-picked depending on need.

  • Team Challenge - invites the team to move to high performance.

  • Team Contribution - lets the team evaluate themselves.

  • Team Rules - establishes the team’s cultural baseline.

  • Team Meetings - creates meetings people want to attend.

  • Team Vision - discusses the team’s purpose.

  • Team Communication - introduces open communication and psychological safety.

  • Team Practices - looks at the benefits of using common work practices.

  • Team Consciousness - discusses why the team should adopt mutual accountability.

4 – Client Measures Results

The effectiveness of the training is best measured on team dynamics, performance and productivity. Specifically, the following questions need to be answered:

  • Is the team communicating more effectively?

  • Are higher workloads being managed?

  • Are conflicts and disagreements being resolved quickly?

  • Are better decisions being made?

  • Are performance targets like budgets being met?

  • Has project delivery and resilience improved?

  • Lastly, has the team become self-managing and achieved its high-performance goals?
