The difference between an average team and a high performing team shows when team members work together with clear goals in mind. If a team’s purpose is not based on strong business imperatives, its collective effort can be less than the sum of individual team members’ efforts.
Optimizing Team Development (OTD) is a simple exercise to help you and your team focus your efforts to improve team performance by:
- determining the core purpose of the team’s efforts to improve
- deciding where to focus attention to make improvement happen
- identifying and removing the barriers to effective performance
- sharing responsibility for removing these barriers
