"The performance challenges
that face companies in every industry…demand the kind
of responsiveness, speed, on-line customization, and quality
that is beyond the reach of individual performance. Teams
bridge this gap."
Jon Katzenbach and Douglas K. Smith, The Wisdom of Teams,
1993. |
Few would argue that people are an organization’s
most valuable asset.
Do you want better quality, faster response time, higher productivity,
greater sensitivity to customers, improved profitability?
People make these happen.
Unfortunately, many people are motivated by compliance. Their
hearts are not in their work. They get by, do the minimum
required, and watch the clock. The organization reaps mediocrity.
Other people are motivated by commitment. They care about
the work they do, know that they are valued by their organization
and can make a significant contribution to its success. The
organization reaps vitality and excellence.
Why Teams?
High Performance teams are more than a group of people
working together to accomplish a common task. They share a
common vision and purpose that inspires their performance.
They feel accountable for their work. They solve problems
and make decisions and act like full partners in the business.
