Team leaders need a clear picture of the fundamentals that all high-performing teams have in common.
Commitment
Contribution
Communication
Co-operation
Connection


COMMITMENT: to the intent and ethics of a company provides a clear sense of focus.  Once team members understand how their work fits into the company objectives and that their goals are achievable, individuals are ready to put aside personal needs for the benefit of the team, department or company.  Once a shared purpose is agreed upon, each team can develop goal posts and focus on continually improving. Time spent getting all team members on the same page will reduce the chances of disasters at a later stage.

CONTRIBUTION: the ability of a successful team is directly related to the skills the team members own and the ingenuity the team members apply. Work teams need people who have good work abilities and social skills and are willing to learn.  Teams also need leaders who will take responsibility for getting things done.

COMMUNICATION: plays a large role in enabling a work group to reach its full capacity.  Team members must be able to say what they think, ask for help and share new ideas.  This can only happen in an environment where team members trust one another and focus on solutions, not problems.  Open communication is important to a team’s success. To be able to assess the work performance of a team, members must provide honest feedback, be able to accept practical criticism and sort out any issues without complaint.  Direct and honest communication is a major player in these instances.

COOPERATION: most tasks in the workplace require much more than one person doing it all.  Success in a company depends upon a degree of inter-dependence within the team.  Team leaders can encourage co-operation by stressing the influence of individual members on team productivity.

CONNECTION: when a work team is connected to the company the team members will discuss team performance in relationship to the company’s priorities and customer opinion.  Team needs will be considered in connection with what is good for the entire company and what will be the best way to achieves objectives together.
