Does the team exhibit psychological safety? Can members openly share ideas and concerns? How effectively does the team navigate conflict?
Do team members understand and appreciate each other’s working styles? Research consistently shows that team performance correlates strongly with relationship quality. 2. Clarity:
Do team members understand their collective purpose? Are individual roles and responsibilities well-defined? Does the team have clear decision-making protocols? Are success metrics clearly established and understood?
How clearly are the teams aligned (around what they’re trying to accomplish), defined (in terms of the space in which they are allowed to operate), and assigned (who is doing what)? 3. Control: Is there a regular rhythm of performance monitoring and adjustment? Does the team have access to relevant performance data? Are members holding themselves – and each other – accountable? Does the team have the authority to act on their insights? Don’t ban the word “control” in your organization. An appropriate level of it is necessary to drive outcomes, maintain stability, and identify and adapt to changes. Remember, while individual excellence and strategic vision are important, it’s the performance of your teams that ultimately determines your firm’s success. Don’t miss the middle – it’s where strategy transforms into results. Starting can be hard, and the assessments can be emotional and personal. Let us help you.
