Teamwork: Articles
“A team is a small number of people with complementary skills who are committed to a
common purpose, set of performance goals, and approach for which they hold themselves
mutually accountable.”
Teams differ from a work group Measure of performance: both individual and
mutual accountability Translate their common purpose into specific goals
The Discipline of Teams
Five elements to the discipline:1. A common purpose that the team has helped
shape – no top-down: team must “own” purpose
2. Specific performance goals that flow from the common purpose – compelling goals inspire and challenge
3. A mix of complementary skills 4. A strong commitment to how the work gets
done – Agreed upon work/equal contribution5. Mutual accountability – goal agreement helps
establish trust/accountability

Team Performance in Retail Banking
“…a team is a finely-tuned group. For it to be a successful team, the leadership and
management of it has to be fine-tuned too.”
Three strategies for improving the efficiency and effectiveness of teams:1. Managing – objectives, roles, and
performance monitoring2. Coaching – managing day-to-day interactions
and processes3. Leading – the long-term strategic view
Leading and Managing Teams
Five trip wires to avoid when developing intuition:
1. Individual performance appraisal – can be divisive
2. Falling off the authority balance beam3. As team size increases, effectiveness decreases4. Stating challenging objectives without
sufficient organization support5. Assuming team members are equipped as team
players

Team Activity: Ropes Exercise
Which of the two activities was harder to perform? Why?
A lot of our daily communication is done somewhat blindly, such as email. What does that mean when we are trying to communicate a complex subject?
How does “trust” come into play during the activities?
How does the activity relate to teamwork?
Team Activity: Ropes Exercise
Joseph Luft and Harrington Ingram created a quadrant to reveal what we know or don't know about something and what others know or don't know about something.
They theorized that the communications process occurs at two levels: The overt level — what was actually said The convert or hidden level — what is actually meant
When the two levels of the communication process are viewed from the perspectives of the communicator and the listener, it provides four panes into the window on how we give and receive information about ourselves and others
