Creating High Performing Teams

Everyone who works in an organization works within a group or a team context to some degree.

Working with others in a team setting is always more complex than working alone because team work involves a great deal of interpersonal interaction, communication, and coordination.

These factors can make being part of a team challenging and sometimes frustrating, but at the same time highly rewarding.
When a team is not functioning well or not functioning to its potential, it often requires outside assistance.

It is important to clarify the distinction between a group and a team and then to take a team through the stages of team development and to transition it into a high performing team.
