Working on a high-performing team is one of life's greatest, rarest, and most affirming experiences. In observing teams of that ilk over the years, it seems there are some commonalities.
High performing teams exhibit...
- TRUST - They demonstrate a high level of trust in one another.
- Transparency - They operate as if there are NO SECRETS (because there aren't).
- Kind Honesty - They shoot straight with each other, but do so with kindness.
- Respectfulness - The behave respectfully, toward everyone, all the time.
- Deference - They listen well, consistently, and deeply to one another.
- Openness - They persistently keep the door open to new thinking, processes, approaches.
It's way cool to play on that kind of team. Those teams emerge and develop only as result of intentional work and decisions. They are verbs, not nouns.
