If you want to have a team that performs at a high level then it is your role as a leader to make this happen. 1. Establish the vision and goals for the team
High performing teams have a clear sense of their purpose. Why? Because the team leader makes it clear, shares with them the organisational vision and how the team vision relates to this. This should be revisited at least once a year, ideally every six months as so many changes will have occurred. And if you are a member of a team where the leader is not doing this – ask for it. Ask for a planning day or morning where you can go through the team vision and goals so everyone can be aligned to it.
2. Agree on team behaviours
Talk about your work, your roles and establish agreed behaviours and rules. Ask everyone to commit to the list. Having agreed standards of behaviour and performance will ensure you are in agreement about house-keeping and tidiness, use of shared resources, break times, meeting times, complaints, emails, start times, etc
3. Determine recognition and reward strategies
Give clear goals and acknowledge good performance. Everyone loves acknowledgement so make sure you and your team work out some rewards everyone can enjoy. Celebrate completion of group projects with the whole team. Even a morning tea together once a week or two can be a good team bonding activity.
4. Talk about ways to create a motivating workplace
Talk with your group and ask for suggestions on what can make your workplace (the physical environment) more motivating and what can make the work and processes more motivating. Discuss healthy lifestyle strategies and what can be done
