Is Your View of a High Performing Team Leading You Astray?
Our comprehension of specific words is often informed by the experience of learning its meaning, where we got it from or the person who taught us, for example. In this way, our communication should concentrate on what has been heard, rather than what has been said to avoid misunderstandings. Is your teams understanding of a high performing team in sync?
KEY TAKEAWAYS
To gain an understanding of peoples opinion of high performance, ask each person to choose an example which for them exemplifies a high performing team. Ask them what they think will exemplify themselves as a high performing team so they can understand the different aspects that are required.BEST MOMENTS
‘I asked everybody to think of a non-work related example of a high performing team. Typical answers are Formula One, the British Cycling Team, Englands Women’s Football Team. When I ask this question it’s to give me a reference point for each person.’
‘It’s vital that we provide spaces for people to explore and share what they have heard not just accept because something has been said that everybody has understood it in the same way.’
