Here are key 5 aspeccts of high performing team members. 1. Motivate and Value the Team Members Leaders in high-performance teams use the pull strategy and know how to create confidence and enthusiasm in the team. Team members feel inspired, that they are on a mission and what they are doing is of highly valuable. 2. Reduce Conflict And Increase Cooperation Conflicts are essential for bringing a diverse ideas to the table but they can also make or break the team. leaders need to work to help resolve differences quickly and invite the teams towards cooperation. Conflict does not resolve on its own and needs to be addressed quickly and constantly. This requires a level of openess and psychological safety in team members. When people believe that they are trusted and supported, disputes can be resolved quickly. 3.

People want to come out of comfort zones and look for working on something that is innnovative and challening ; they want to do something special. When they accomplish challening goals they get to recognize that they are valued, capable and competent. 4.

Team Development Models
There are several proven, effective team development models used by our facilitators . Here are few commonly used team development models that we include as part of our structured learning and facilitation process.
1. The Five Dysfunctions of a Team
Developed by Patrick Lencioni, owner of The Table Group. The five dysfunctions are:
Absence of Trust, Fear of Conflict, Lack of Commitment, Avoidance of Accountability, and Inattention to Results.
This model includes a team assessment to determine team scores on the 5 dysfunctions and provide your team with a sense of its strengths and areas for improvement.
2. Tuckman’s Model
The Tuckman Team development model includes the forming stage, storming stage, norming stage, performing stage and adjourning stage.
These stages represent the necessary and inevitable stages of group development from facing challenges, tackling problems, finding solutions and planning work to ultimately delivering results as a successful team.
3. Curphy and Hogan’s Rocket Model. The Rocket Model is based on research from hundreds of teams and provides sound, practical advice for improving group and team performance. The Rocket Model consists of eight components, which include context, mission, talent, norms, buy-in, power, morale, and results.
4. Drexler Sibbit model
The Drexler/Sibbet Team Performance® Model illustrates team development as seven stages, four to create the team and three to describe increasing levels of sustained performance. This powerful tool for developing and sustaining teams is used as a framework and common language for supporting a team-based culture
