(by Jonathan M. Pham)

Highlights

• A high-performing team is a group of individuals who collaborate effectively, share a common vision, and continuously strive for improvement, leading to exceptional results. Characterized by effective management, strong connections, and diversity, the establishment of such teams helps streamline workflows, improve problem-solving, enhance customer satisfaction, foster innovation, boost morale and retention, and enhance the company’s brand image – thereby contributing to sustainable success in today’s competitive business environment.
• High-performing teams come in various forms, including cross-functional, self-managed, virtual, project, top management, problem-solving, and process improvement teams, each tailored to specific goals and functions. No matter the specific type, they all require alignment on direction, high-quality interaction, and strong renewal, while also addressing the physiological, safety, love & belonging, esteem, and self-actualization needs of their members.
• Key drivers of such teams include leadership styles, company culture, psychological safety, team dynamics, and performance management.
• The process of building high-performing teams typically goes through stages of formation, storming, norming, performing, and adjourning, where individuals gradually evolve from initial conflicts to peak performance.
• The cultivation of high-performing teams is often hindered by lack of trust, poor communication, conflicting goals, ineffective leadership, resistance to change, cultural differences, and insufficient resources. To overcome these challenges, organizations need to invest in fostering trust, enhancing communication, empowering members, aligning goals, addressing cultural differences, providing effective leadership, and ensuring necessary resources.

What is a High-performing Team?

A high-performing team is a group of individuals who consistently exceed expectations and achieve outstanding results. They are characterized by the ability to work together seamlessly, leverage collective strengths, and overcome challenges effectively.

Key signs & characteristics:

• Clear goals and shared vision: Team members are aligned on their objectives and understand how individual efforts contribute to the overall success.
• Strong communication: Open, honest, and effective communication is essential for building trust, resolving conflicts, and ensuring everyone is on the same page.
• Shared accountability: Everyone takes ownership of their work and is accountable for their actions. Leadership is not limited to a single person; instead, all people are empowered to take initiative.
• Mutual trust and interdependence: Team members trust and respect each other’s abilities, leading to a collaborative and supportive environment.
• Adaptability: High-performing teams are characterized by the ability to adapt to changing circumstances and embrace new challenges.
• Continuous learning and improvement: Team members are committed to learning and growing, both individually and collectively.

Unlike those in ordinary groups (who, normally, just get together to do their jobs and follow orders), members within a high-performance team actively contribute to the team’s success through their unique perspectives and skills. The result is a sense of empowerment and responsibility, often resulting in exceptional strategy execution and goal achievement. Success is tied to both individual and team performance, with a (typically) stronger emphasis on collective achievement.

The Importance of Building High-performing Teams in Today’s Business Landscape

In today’s dynamic and competitive business environment, success hinges on the strength of your workforce. And yet, individual talent alone isn’t enough. For organizations to maintain a sustainable edge, they need the collective power of high-performing teams. These are not simply a collection of skilled individuals; they are a synergistic unit fueled by effective management, strong connections, unwavering trust, and an inclusive culture.

• Peak performance through effective management

Research by McKinsey paints a clear picture: companies with robust performance management systems, where managers actively coach and develop their employees, witness a 74% effectiveness rate in these systems. This translates to a whopping 62% higher performance compared to their competitors.

Effective managers are not just taskmasters; they are mentors who empower their team members to grow, innovate, and visualize their full potential.

• Connectedness breeds success

According to Gallup’s research, when teams rank within the top 20% in terms of feeling connected, they experience a remarkable 41% decrease in absenteeism, a staggering 59% reduction in turnover, and a whopping 66% increase in employee well-being.

Strong connections foster a sense of belonging, mutual support, and shared purpose – which translates to increased engagement, productivity, and overall team morale.

• Diversity leads to innovation

Deloitte’s case study highlights the undeniable link between workplace cultures and superior performance. Specifically, organizations that embrace diversity and inclusion are twice as likely to meet or exceed financial targets, a staggering three times more likely to be high-performing, a remarkable six times more likely to be innovative and agile, and an incredible eight times more likely to achieve better business outcomes.

An inclusive environment fosters a wealth of perspectives and experiences, leading to a wellspring of creative ideas, enhanced problem-solving abilities, and improved decision-making.

Building high-performing teams is a strategic investment, not a quick fix. It requires a commitment to ongoing development.

Benefits of High-performance Teams

High-performance teams offer a multitude of advantages that can significantly impact an organization’s success – both in the short term and long run:

• Streamlined workflows: When roles and responsibilities are well-defined, it results in smoother operations and reduced bottlenecks. As team members are engaged and motivated to work toward a common set of goals, they become more capable of achieving higher levels of productivity.
• Improved problem-solving: Diverse perspectives and strong communication, which are typically observed within such teams, make problem-solving and decision-making much faster and more effective.
• Enhanced customer satisfaction: Due to the shared sense of accountability and commitment to self-learning/ skill development, team members become better equipped to deliver exceptional service experiences, which facilitate better relationships with customers and contribute to overall business outcomes.
• Foster innovation: High-performance teams often encourage experimentation, risk-taking, and creative thinking. This, coupled with the team members’ diverse backgrounds, makes it easier to generate more innovative ideas and solutions to problems.
• Improved morale & retention: When employees feel valued, supported, and engaged, not only are they more likely to find satisfaction and fulfillment in their work, but they also become less likely to consider opportunities elsewhere.
• Positive brand image: A reputation for having high-performing teams is a key contributing factor when it comes to employee branding and talent attraction/ acquisition. In other words, it makes organizations better positioned to compete in today’s fast-paced business environment.

Types of High-performing Teams in the Workplace

High-performing teams may take on various forms depending on their specific goals and functions:

• Cross-functional teams:
  • Composition: Members from different departments or functional areas.
  • Purpose: To tackle complex projects that require diverse skills and perspectives.
  • Example: A product development team composed of engineers, designers, marketers, and sales representatives.
• Self-managed teams:
  • Composition: Team members have significant autonomy in planning, organizing, and executing their work.
  • Purpose: To empower employees and foster a sense of ownership.
  • Example: A customer service team that manages their own schedules, workload, and problem-solving processes.
• Virtual teams:
  • Composition: Members who are geographically dispersed and primarily communicate electronically.
  • Purpose: To leverage global talent and reduce costs.
  • Example: A software development team with members located in different countries.
• Project teams:
  • Composition: Members assembled to complete a specific project or task.
  • Purpose: To achieve a defined goal within a set timeframe.
  • Example: A team tasked with launching a new product.
• Top management teams:
  • Composition: Senior executives responsible for making strategic decisions for the entire organization.
  • Purpose: To provide overall leadership and direction.
  • Example: The CEO, CFO, COO, and other top-level executives of a company.
• Problem-solving teams:
  • Composition: Members who are brought together to identify and resolve specific issues or challenges.
  • Purpose: To improve efficiency, quality, or other key performance indicators.
  • Example: A team formed to address a decline in customer satisfaction.
• Process improvement teams:
  • Composition: Members who focus on streamlining and optimizing work processes.
  • Purpose: To enhance efficiency, reduce costs, and improve quality.
  • Example: A team tasked with redesigning a manufacturing process.

Models for Building High-performing Teams

McKinsey’s model

When it comes to crafting successful teams, McKinsey offers a valuable framework built on three core pillars:

• Alignment on direction

Alignment occurs when everyone is on the same page. A shared vision and understanding of the team’s goals act as a compass, guiding people toward a common objective.

This starts with clear communication of the team’s purpose and vision. Specifically, leaders must articulate not just what needs to be achieved, but also why it matters. When each individual understands how their role contributes to the bigger picture, they become more engaged and motivated.

• High-quality interaction

Imagine a team meeting where ideas flow freely, and constructive criticism is embraced. This is the essence of high-quality interaction. Healthy debates and a willingness to challenge the status quo lead to better decision-making.

• Strong sense of renewal

Maintaining a team’s momentum over time requires constant “renewal” – which involves regularly reflecting on the team’s performance. Taking time to celebrate successes, big and small, reinforces positive behaviors and boosts morale.

Learning from failures is equally important. By analyzing mistakes and identifying areas for improvement, the team can become more resilient and adaptable.

Maslow’s hierarchy of needs

Maslow’s hierarchy of needs is a psychological theory that suggests human needs are arranged in a hierarchical order. Once lower-level needs are met, people are motivated to fulfill higher-level needs. This theory can be applied to understanding the dynamics of high-performing teams:

• Physiological needs:
  • Stability & security: Team members need a stable work environment, job security, and adequate compensation to feel physically safe and secure. This foundation is essential for productivity and focus.
  • Health and wellness: Access to healthcare, wellness programs, and a healthy work environment all contribute massively to people’s overall well-being and performance.
• Safety needs:
  • Job security: Clear expectations, fair policies, and a supportive work culture make it more likely for one to feel secure in their roles.
  • Emotional safety: A respectful and inclusive environment where team members feel comfortable expressing themselves without fear of judgment or ridicule.
• Love & belonging needs:
  • Team cohesion: Strong team bonds, social interactions, and a sense of belonging.
  • Recognition and appreciation: Acknowledging and celebrating team members’ achievements so as to foster a sense of self-worth.
• Esteem needs:
  • Achievement and recognition: Opportunities for growth, development, and recognition are crucial for team members to feel valued and motivated to excel.
  • Status and respect: A culture that respects individual contributions and fosters a sense of autonomy.
• Self-actualization needs:
  • Personal growth: Supporting team members’ professional development and career goals.
  • Purpose & meaning: A shared sense of purpose and a connection to something larger than oneself.

In essence, a high-performing team is one where the needs of its members are met at all levels of Maslow’s hierarchy. By addressing the basic needs of safety and security, fostering a sense of belonging, recognizing and appreciating individual contributions, and supporting personal growth, organizations create an environment where team members are motivated, engaged, and able to achieve their best.

What Makes a High-performing Team?

1. Leadership styles

Effective leadership plays an indispensable role in the establishment of high-performing teams. While there are various approaches to management, some are particularly well-suited for fostering a culture of excellence:

• Servant leadership: A management philosophy where one’s primary focus is to serve the needs of others, including their team members, customers, and the community. Rather than being in a position of power and control, servant leaders see themselves as stewards and facilitators, guiding their teams toward shared objectives.
• Transformational leadership: Such leaders motivate followers to go beyond their self-interests (and work towards a shared vision) through a combination of intellectual stimulation and individualized consideration.
• Authentic leadership: As the name might have suggested, those who adopt this style are dedicated to being true to themselves and their values. They inspire trust by being genuine, transparent, and consistent in their actions. In other words, it’s about “leading from the heart”, rather than just the head.

2. Company culture

A positive and supportive workplace culture is essential for building high-performing teams:

• Trust: Team members’ belief in each other and their leaders lays the foundation for seamless collaboration and outstanding performance. Such trust – according to Harvard Business Review – stems from a combination of leadership behaviors, including not leaving collaboration to chance, keeping colleagues in the loop, sharing credit, believing in the benefits of disagreements, and proactively addressing tension whenever it arises.
• Respect: Respect for individual differences and contributions is critical for creating a diverse and inclusive environment.
• Innovation: A culture that encourages creativity, experimentation, and continuous improvement.
• Accountability: Team members should be held accountable for their actions and results, while also being provided with the support and resources they need to succeed.
• Work-life balance: Supporting a healthy work-life balance is a must for organizations to maintain employee’s well-being and performance at the optimal level.

3. Psychological safety

Psychological safety is the belief that one can speak up without fear of negative consequences. When everyone feels psychologically safe, they are more likely to share their ideas, take risks, and work together. In order to achieve this, your role as a leader is to:

• Encourage open communication: Creating the necessary atmosphere/ conditions for others to feel comfortable expressing their thoughts and opinions.
• Listening actively: Paying attention to team members’ concerns and feedback.
• Avoiding blame: Focusing on solutions rather than assigning blame for mistakes.
• Celebrating successes: Recognizing and rewarding team members for their achievements.
• etc.

4. Team dynamics

• Team composition: The right mix of skills, personalities, and experiences may significantly impact overall performance. Generally speaking, organizations should strive to build up a diverse team that brings a variety of viewpoints and experiences to the table.
• Communication: Effective communication channels, both verbal and written, ensure that everyone is on the same page. Companies may consider investing in the appropriate technology to enhance collaboration and productivity.

5. Performance management

• Key Performance Indicators (KPIs): KPIs are quantifiable metrics that can be used to assess progress towards goals; they may cover aspects such as productivity (e.g. output per employee or project completion rate), quality (e.g. defect rates, customer satisfaction scores, or error rates), efficiency (e.g. resource utilization, turnaround time, or cost-effectiveness), innovation (e.g. patents filed, new product launches, or customer feedback on innovative solutions, etc.). When setting KPIs, leaders should take into account factors such as alignment with organizational objectives, relevance to team roles/ responsibilities, and measurability.
• Feedback: Regular and constructive feedback enables team members to become better equipped to improve their performance and stay aligned with goals. Tools such as ITD World’s 360-degree e-assessment may come in handy for this purpose.
• Recognition & development opportunities: Acknowledging and rewarding others for their efforts boosts morale and motivation. On the other hand, companies should also aim to provide employees with plenty of opportunities for professional growth and learning (e.g. workplace training & mentorship sessions, workshops, retreats, etc.)
• Data-driven decision-making: Leverage metrics and analytics to make informed decisions based on evidence and data rather than assumptions/ biases.

Stages of Building a High-performing Team

Building a high-performing team is a gradual process that involves several distinct stages (which may not always follow a linear order):

• Formation
  • Team creation: The team is assembled, often through a process of selection or assignment.
  • Goal setting: Clear and measurable goals are established, ensuring everyone understands the team’s purpose and objectives.
  • Role definition: The roles and responsibilities of each team member are defined to avoid confusion and ensure everyone is aware of their own contribution.
• Storming
  • Conflict resolution: Initial conflicts and disagreements may arise as team members assert themselves and compete for leadership.
  • Team norms: Gradually, team norms and expectations begin to emerge, shaping the team’s culture and behavior.
  • Trust building: Building trust among team members is crucial at this stage, as it lays the foundation for future collaboration.
• Norming
  • Collaboration: Team members start to work together more effectively, sharing ideas and supporting each other.
  • Decision-making: Group decision-making processes are established, ensuring that everyone’s input is valued.
  • Team identity: A strong sense of team identity and belonging develops, fostering a positive and supportive environment.
• Performing
  • Peak performance: The team reaches its highest level of performance, consistently achieving goals and exceeding expectations.
  • Innovation: Creativity and innovation flourish as members work together to find new and better ways of doing things.
  • Problem-solving: Challenges are addressed efficiently and effectively, demonstrating the team’s ability to overcome obstacles.
• Adjourning
  • Completion: The team’s goals are achieved, and the project is successfully completed.
  • Reflection: Members reflect on their experiences and learn from the process.
  • Disbandment: In some cases, the team may disband or move on to new projects.

Challenges in Building a High-performing Team

• Lack of trust

As mentioned, trust is the foundation of any successful team. When team members don’t believe in each other, the result is a breakdown in communication, collaboration, and productivity. Fear of failure prevents people from taking risks or sharing their ideas, while hidden agendas undermine trust and hinder collaboration.

• Poor communication

Misunderstandings typically arise when communication is unclear or ineffective, leading to conflicts and decreased productivity. A lack of transparency (which is prevalent in many workplace settings these days) breeds a climate of distrust and suspicion, further hindering collective performance.

• Conflicting goals

Misalignment in terms of priorities gives rise to disagreements, a lack of focus, and reduced productivity. For example, let’s say a marketing team is tasked with increasing brand awareness and driving sales; however, the team members disagree on whether to prioritize brand image or sales – which causes them to diverge in their courses of action and prevents collaboration.

To address this, the team should facilitate open discussions, develop a prioritization framework, and encourage compromise and collaboration.

• Ineffective leadership

Weak leadership – characterized by the failure to provide direction, support, or motivation, as well as the tendency to micromanage – stifles creativity, reduces autonomy, and erodes trust.

• Resistance to change

Change is a constant in today’s business environment. That being said, fear of the unknown and concerns about job security are what cause many to feel uncomfortable embracing change. A preference for the status quo often hinders the team’s ability to adapt to new challenges and opportunities.

• Cultural differences

Misunderstandings, communication breakdowns, and conflicts arise when team members from different cultures exhibit different values, beliefs, or customs. Stereotypes and biases, if left unchecked, will hinder collaboration and give rise to a hostile work environment.

• Insufficient resources

Limitations in terms of resources (e.g. funding, equipment, or personnel) typically result in excessive workload and burnout, which constrain a team’s ability to collaborate and achieve its goals.

How to Build a High-performing Team in the Workplace

1. Fostering trust and collaboration

A strong foundation of trust creates a safe and supportive environment where team members feel comfortable sharing their ideas, taking risks, and working together towards common goals. In order to facilitate open communication and ensure a sense of collective purpose within the team, it is recommended that organizations consider team-building activities – which may range from social events to collaborative projects that require teamwork and problem-solving. When employees get to know each other on a personal level, they are more likely to develop a sense of camaraderie and mutual respect.

At the same time, fairness and transparency are also crucial for fostering trust in one’s leaders and colleagues. Companies should also invest in conflict resolution training, so that individuals are equipped with the necessary skills/ mindsets to manage disagreements effectively and constructively, preventing conflicts from escalating and damaging internal dynamics.

2. Enhancing communication and alignment

Clear expectations are crucial for ensuring that everyone is on the same page. As a leader, your role is to make sure that everyone has a vivid understanding of their roles, responsibilities, and goals. Regular check-ins should help monitor progress, address any underlying issues, and reduce the risk of straying away from the team’s objectives.

Establishing effective communication channels is essential – so that information is shared seamlessly. An example is to schedule a brief daily meeting where each person shares what they accomplished the previous day, what they plan to do today, and any obstacles they’re facing.

Additionally, companies should also come up with feedback mechanisms – forums for team members to give and receive input (e.g. one-on-one meetings, anonymous surveys, post-project debriefings, monthly reviews, etc.)

3. Empowering team members and fostering innovation

Delegation is an indispensable leadership skill when it comes to building high-performance teams. Leaders need to learn how to delegate tasks and responsibilities – so that team members may have the chance to develop new skills, take on more challenging work, and experience a greater sense of ownership. When individuals are given the autonomy to make decisions and solve problems, they are more likely to be creative in their approaches.

On the other hand, it is vital that organizations come up with detailed policies for recognition and continuous learning.

4. Aligning goals and priorities

When everyone is working toward the same objectives, the team is more likely to be efficient, effective, and successful. For this purpose, leaders need to invest in strategic planning – so as to come up with a collective roadmap – as well as to hold regular reviews (which can be weekly, monthly, or quarterly depending on the specific business).

One method of ensuring alignment is to establish a prioritization framework, so that the team may allocate resources and focus on the most important tasks

Example: A small software development team is working on a new mobile app. The team has a backlog of features and bug fixes.

Prioritization framework:

• Strategic Alignment:
  • Vision and mission: Define the app’s overall purpose and goals.
  • OKRs: Set clear Objectives and Key Results that align with the vision and mission.

• Customer Impact:
  • User research: Gather insights into user needs and pain points.
  • User stories: Create user stories that represent specific user goals.

• Business Value:
  • ROI analysis: Estimate the potential return on investment for each feature or bug fix.
  • Revenue impact: Assess how each feature or bug fix will contribute to revenue growth.

• Technical Complexity:
  • Effort estimation: Estimate the time and resources required to implement each feature or bug fix.
  • Dependencies: Pinpoint any dependencies on other features or components.
• Risk Assessment:
  • Potential risks: Identify potential risks associated with each feature or bug fix.
  • Mitigation strategies: Brainstorm tactics to mitigate those risks.

5. Addressing cultural differences and diversity

In today’s globalized world, it is increasingly important for teams to be able to work effectively across geographical boundaries. As such, addressing cultural differences and promoting diversity is essential to facilitating a more inclusive and respectful workplace.

Cultural awareness training provides an opportunity for team members to be exposed to and appreciate those from other backgrounds. Organizations may consider equipping employees with knowledge about inclusive language and behavior – so as to make the workplace more welcoming and respectful.

Agile Methodology is an invaluable tool for promoting flexibility, adaptability, and iterative development in diverse teams. Here’s an example of how it is done:

Scenario: A multinational software development team is working on a new product. The team members are from different countries with diverse cultural backgrounds.

Agile Approach:

• Scrum: The team uses the Scrum framework, which includes daily stand-ups, sprint planning, and retrospectives. These meetings provide opportunities for team members to share updates, discuss challenges, and learn from each other.
• Cross-functional teams: The team is composed of individuals with various skills and expertise, which helps to ensure that all perspectives are considered.
• Iterative development: The team works in short, iterative cycles (sprints) to deliver working software incrementally. This allows them to gather feedback from customers early and make adjustments as needed.
• Cultural sensitivity: Everyone is encouraged to be mindful of cultural differences and to use inclusive language and behavior. They also participate in cultural awareness training to learn more about each other’s backgrounds.

6. Effective leadership

A leader takes people where they want to go. A great leader takes people where they don’t necessarily want to go, but ought to be.

Rosalynn Carter

It all starts with building a high-performing executive team. When leaders trust and delegate authority to their team members, they create an environment where individuals feel valued, motivated, and invested in the team’s success. As such, people become empowered to take ownership of their work, leading to increased job satisfaction, innovation, and overall team performance.

Leading by example is another essential requirement. Leaders need to demonstrate the behaviors and values they expect from their team members – in order to lay the foundation for trust and respect. By embodying the desired qualities (e.g. integrity, transparency), they set a clear standard for behavior, motivating their team to strive for excellence.

7. Providing necessary resources and support

Adequate resources empower employees to excel in their roles and contribute effectively to the team’s goals. This includes access to up-to-date technology, tools, and information, as well as a conducive work environment that fosters creativity and collaboration. For instance, a marketing team equipped with the latest design software and data analytics tools can produce high-quality campaigns and measure their impact accurately.

Moreover, promoting work-life balance is essential for sustaining employee well-being and productivity. Offering flexible work arrangements, encouraging time off, and providing wellness programs are among the things organizations can do to demonstrate commitment to employees’ overall welfare.

Investing in coaching and mentoring programs is a must – so that employees are provided with the guidance, support, and feedback to hone their skills, build confidence, and reach their full potential. Additionally, change management training equips them with the tools and strategies to navigate transitions more smoothly. By understanding the change process and its impact on individuals and teams, team members may adapt more effectively and contribute positively to collective success.
