Title: BUILDING HIGH PERFORMING TEAMS - Part Two

Creating your team is important to ensuring whether or not it is a high performing team. Teams are often formed by geography or calendars. Those chosen are based on close proximity of/in the office and who can get together at the same time. Leaders need to recognize that while high-performing teams share certain characteristics, there are some important distinctions between them. To ignore these distinctions can lead to poor performance, frustration over difficulty of working together productively, and disillusionment with the team because relationships grow difficult.

Again, go back to your mission. What do you want the team to accomplish? Teams should be formed based on the need for coordination and specialization of tasks. Your mission of the team (your final product envisioned) drives this. Some teams will need to be made of members with different disciplines and high specialization in different areas. Some teams need to be made of members who are highly coordinated and cross-trained.
