No matter how smart, talented, driven, or passionate you are, many of your successes will be determined by your capability to function as part of a team. But have you ever wondered why some teams learn to harness their full potential while others go nowhere? When it comes to the best teams in the world, whether in the sport arena or in the corporate arena, they all possess similar characteristics that make them special. Over the years, much has been learned about the dynamics, development and implementation of teams- what works and what doesn’t. But the teams that deliver the transformational change we desire are hard to build and difficult to sustain. We all recognize these teams when we see them, yet it’s difficult to articulate just what makes them work. If the recipe for building and sustaining these teams was easy to replicate, more sport teams would experience back-to-back championships. Clearly, these teams are rare and are a cut above the norm.  In fact, there is a class of team that is evolving that has the potential to replace the slow, flat, hierarchical structures of most organizations with an organization capable of producing real change- these are referred to as high performing teams.
