Team Leadership| 5 Things High Performance Teams do Consistently

"Faith is taking the first step even when you don't see the whole staircase."

Hiring, building, and nurturing high-performance teams has long been a holy grail for brands. Each team has unique needs, personalities, and individual triggers that drive a passion in each team member. So how does a brand build a competent team and one who gets along with one another and consistently produces superior results…consistently, not just one-hit wonders?

First, when looking at building a high-performance team, understand there are primary needs of each team and individuals;

Autonomy; the ability to perform without hindrance.

Competence; having the skill set to perform.

Relatedness; being able to interact with other team members.

Then there are the three levels of support and building effectiveness in the team;

Dependance; INDIVIDUAL, the baby, the newbie, is learning from others. Crucial to have a process for onboarding.

Interdependence; TEAM, working with a group and being part of a team, finding a solution together.

Independence; LEADER, Leadership level, finding ways to make others successful. Be humble and grateful, and do not take credit for others' successes.

So what are the 5 Things that High Performing Teams do Consistently?

1. They are Real with each other; they express personal and professional emotions and share with the team, building a more intimate bond.


2. They Share Praise; they are more likely to share praise with others vs. trying to take credit for themselves. Again, it's all about the team and no friction.


3. They Bond; they spend more time together on non-work-related items and discussions. So it's not all about work!


4. They are Strategic, not only with their work but, more importantly, with their time. They are finding ways to get more done in a shorter period of time. They are working together through Interdependence and Independence.


5. They Communicate Directly; they are more likely to communicate through Voice vs. Text or e-mails. Be honest, be Live.

Building, managing, and growing successful teams for your brand takes a commitment to process and action. The approach to getting team members up to speed and the effort to assure they are satisfied with what it takes to be a part of a successful team and brand!

Stay True, Stay Authentic, be Different, and be Great!

Enjoy the Journey!
