High-Performance Team - COURSE

Management and Teams
Written By Russell Futcher

If you can achieve the status of a High-Performance Team, business success is basically guaranteed.

This is the third and final course that takes you all the way from management to leadership through to building high-performance teams. The approach these courses take is to change your behaviours, not your mindset. It is easier to 'act your way into new thinking' than to 'think your way into new actions'.

The High-Performance Teams course completes the process of building a high-performance team.

If you are an experienced manager or one preparing for a leadership role, this course has been written for you.

This course contains the very latest leadership research and best practices from some of the world's leading and most progressive organizations including Harvard Business Review, Google, Microsoft, Deloittes, Adobe, Forbes, Praxis, Gartner, and Gallup, with a wealth of knowledge from books such as Good to Great, The Five Dysfunctions of Teams and The Hedgehog Effect. 

High-performance team members don’t really want to come to work and do something that ordinary teams accomplish; they want to do something extraordinary, something that says that they are personally capable and competent. High-Performance Team Building introduces the final steps to building a high-performance team. Having completed the High-Performance Leadership training, you have started to engage with your team more effectively, and team members are exhibiting new behaviours. These two factors should be giving you confidence that acting in accordance with your new management style means you are ready to complete the building of a high-performance team.

The course is intended for managers with at least 10 years’ management experience. High-Performance Team like its counterpart High-Performance Leadership, is designed to manage constant, often unplanned, high-risk change. 

Striving to create a high-performance team is one of the few remaining competitive advantages available to any organization looking for a powerful point of differentiation. High-performance teams avoid wasting time talking about the wrong issues and revisiting the same topics repeatedly because of a lack of buy-in. They also make higher quality decisions and accomplish more in less time, using fewer resources and with less distraction and frustration and rarely leave organizations where they feel valued. Successful teamwork is not about mastering subtle, sophisticated theories, but rather about embracing common sense behaviours with uncommon levels of discipline and persistence. Ironically, teams succeed because they are exceedingly human. By acknowledging the imperfections of their humanity, members of high-performance teams overcome the natural tendencies that make teamwork so elusive.
