Building High-Performing Teams

A CATALYST FOR SUCCESS IN UNCERTAIN TIMES

Leading a team in today's dynamic environment can be challenging. Evolving priorities, remote work complexities, and a global economic climate in flux all contribute to the pressure on leaders to cultivate high-performing teams. But what exactly makes a team high-performing?

Recent research by Harvard Business Review emphasises three key characteristics (https://hbr.org/2023/08/what-makes-some-teams-high-performing):

·??????Shared Understanding: Team members possess a clear understanding of the team's goals, individual roles, and how their work contributes to the bigger picture.

·??????Psychological Safety: Individuals feel safe to take risks, share ideas openly, and admit mistakes without fear of retribution. This fosters trust, collaboration, and innovation.

·??????Prosocial Purpose: The team is driven by a sense of purpose that extends beyond individual gain. They are committed to a common goal that benefits the organisation and potentially even the broader community.

Catapult can help you cultivate these essential characteristics within your team. Our High-Performing Team Framework draws upon research-backed principles to create a roadmap for success:

·??????Shared Purpose & Vision: We guide you through collaborative workshops to establish a clear and inspiring purpose and vision for your team’s impact. This forms the foundation for team alignment.

·??????Building Openness & Trust: Our team-building sessions are designed to foster openness, trust and psychological safety. This allows team members to collaborate effectively, leverage each other's strengths, and solve problems creatively.

·??????Effective Teamwork Strategies: We provide tools and strategies to encourage constructive conflict, where team members can voice differing opinions and challenge assumptions in a respectful manner. This leads to better-informed decisions and fosters a culture of accountability.

Leading Through Uncertainty: We understand that current conditions demand adaptability. Our team development programmes can equip you with the skills to address contemporary challenges, whether it's navigating a remote work environment or managing shifting priorities with your team.
