Success Factors to Enhance Team Performance
Definition
1. Establish a sense of urgency and importance of the work
2. Outline clear expectations and outcomes to be achieved. A charter–which is a document describing the purpose, aims, scope, principles and outcomes of a group–is a helpful unifying tool to use for direction and focus as a new group forms
3. Select members for skill and skill performance, not personality – but if members are assigned, be clear about that
4. Make meetings worthwhile with explicit agendas, specific goals, prompt starts, attention to the time, and review of decisions and next steps at the end
5. Establish clear rules of behavior. A compact or agreement that lays out the conditions under which the work will be done, and what members can expect of each other, is a helpful tool to co-create when a team first comes together. This can include how members will relate with each other, keep each other informed, handle disagreements of opinion, share the work, etc.
6. Link the work of the team to the broader organizational context – bring in data, perspectives, updates that enrich the work and keep it relevant
7. Recognize accomplishments and milestones
8. Create opportunities for every team member to participate:
a) if a few people monopolize the discussion, suggest that everyone in the group be given a chance to weigh in
b) allow for some feedback to be provided in written form in between meetings
c) provide a minute for people to collect their thoughts after a question is posed
