Projects

At its simplest a team is (just) a collection of people working on the same thing, When they work against each other we tend to call them dysfunctional.

Most team performance measures treat performance as 'normal' when most of the team are working on the same thing at roughly the same time. Typically there will be trail blazers and mavericks whose activities pull the team forward and there will be laggards and poisoners who demotivate it and slow it down.

Creating high performance teams is about leadership and culture. Culturally a high performance team will be collaborating, there will be a sense of community and ownership and leaders will be addressing the issues created by mavericks and controlling the trail blazers to direct their energy at lifting those around them particularly the laggards. Leadership is also about positive intolerance of poisoners.
