PODCAST: Team Leadership | 5 Things High-Performing Teams Do Consistently
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?
- They are Real with each other; they express personal and professional emotions and share with the team, building a more intimate bond.
- 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.
- They Bond; they spend more time together on non-work-related items and discussions. So it's not all about work!
- 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.
- 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!
