The goal of every manager should be to build a high performing team or at least a higher performing team. Team performance is how managers are assessed, and it is the core purpose of a manager’s role. 

I share 3 must do’s to build a high performing team based on my experience of turning around multiple underperforming teams and winning multiple “Best Team” prizes, again with different teams.

How to build a high performing team starts with being there for your team. Building high levels of trust is a huge part of high performing teams. Being there for your team day in day out, even when it costs you personally, is a great way to build high levels of trust with your team. 

I share 7 practical approaches to demonstrating you are there for your team which will all contribute to create a high performing team. Implementing any of these 7 approaches will have a positive impact on the performance of any team.

The second must do to enable high performance in teams is to set really clear direction. Nearly every management book says this, yet the majority of managers send very mixed messages to their teams resulting in confusion, uncertainty and lower team performance. Most managers tell their team what they want. Very few managers align their decisions, actions and behaviours to fully reinforce those verbal and written directions and expectations. 

I give you tips on what to work in for help create a high performing teams culture with very clear direction and expectations. Setting and communicating direction and expectations without causing confusion etc is one of the key leadership skills for managers to practice.

The third must do to build a high performing team is the celebrate the differences. Team become great because they use to the maximum the differences between team members. To build high-performing teams play to team members strengths so two plus two really can equal six rather than four. 

Recognising and celebrating the differences within your team is a key part of team performance management. I share 6 practical approaches to demonstrate to your team that you accept and appreciated the different views, approaches, backgrounds, skills etc within your team. 

Building a high performing team is possible with nearly any team. Put into practice all the leadership development tips in this video and you will significantly increase the performance of your team.
