Brand Leadership | 5 Things High-Performing Teams Do Consistently

"Great things in business are never done by one person. They're done by a team of people.” - Steve Jobs

 

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 passion in each team member. So how does a brand build a competent team that gets along with one another and consistently produces superior results…consistently, not just one-hit wonders?

First, when building a high-performance team, understand each team's and individuals' primary needs.

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 for the team.

 

Dependence | INDIVIDUAL, the baby, the newbie, is learning from others. It is crucial to have a process for onboarding.

Interdependence | TEAM, working with a group, being part of a team, and 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 work 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!
