One Team, Best Team, Real Results
Teams!
Teams are the basic unit of organization structure and one of the most powerful ways of getting work accomplished.
Who doesn't want to be part of a high performing team! A winning team, a team that outperforms the others and surprises itself is the goal of every leader. And the great news is that high performance is not only possible, it's well within the reach of most.
The main reason you want to move into high performance is to outdo your competition. It's an extraordinary place. Work becomes easy, natural, and fun. Work flows, you achieve, you feel confidence, and you exude positive energy. The High-Fives are real. The electricity is felt. People have a sense of meaning, purpose, and fulfillment. And the best part is that it is catchy, others want it as well. So high performance can become a goal that others shoot for, achieve and spread the possibility.
Background
I was part of a high performing team when I headed up Client and Field Education for Shared Medical (now Siemens) over 20 years ago. I loved the experience and when I left to become an independent consultant, I wanted to teach others how to move their teams to High Performance. I took with me at that time the model that helped us get there and is still the best model I have found - The Drexler Sibbet Team Performance Model.
It offers powerful insights into how a team works and what’s needed to move to high performance. It goes beyond the talk of group dynamics and gives managers a visual picture of what is actually happening with the team. The Model is also a map that makes sense, a way to determine the team’s status, a direction, and a language that all team members can grasp and understand
Besides our tasks, which were daunting, we had a way to discuss how we were doing while we achieved our goals. Once we understood the model, we began a process of redefining ourselves in the context of TEAM. We found out almost immediately that we did not have any idea of how good we could be! We gained a fair degree of alignment right away and we started accomplishing our goals almost immediately. That first year we set a goal of making 300K in revenue from our client education efforts. We made a million! Then we set a goal of making a penny a share. That year we made 2 cents a share. When I left - two years later, The goal was 10 million in the next three years. They achieved it!
My learning and theirs - is that High Performance, performance that will blow away your assumptions is both achievable and so desirable! When I consulted to CIGNA International a few years later, they discovered that they couldn't set a goal high enough!
