RECIPE FOR SUCCESS FOR A HIGH PERFORMING TEAM

After reading several books on success, teambuilding and leadership, I wondered what my recipe for success would be for a HIGH PERFORMING TEAM.  I have been a team leader, facilitator, campus president, director, and have held many other positions in leadership.  Here is what I would want my ingredients for a HIGH PERFORMING TEAM to look like:

INGREDIENTS

1.  First, add one (1) cup of CLARITY.  Make sure your team goals are clearly defined.  A team works best when everyone understands the purpose.

2. Add another HEAP of great communication (sorry, I am from the South).  Good communication includes active listening (listening for understanding), the use of “I” statements instead of “You” statements, and patience. 

3.  Two cups of balanced participation

4.  A dash of Established Ground Rules

Mix well one (1) cup of clarity and the other Heap of good communication skills, let simmer.  Add dash of established ground rules; then stir.  Finally, put your two (2) cups of balanced participation in the mix.  Set temperature, let cook for the entirety of the TEAM.

WHAT ARE YOUR INGREDIENTS???

F.O.C.U.S. and remember Success is your Destiny!
