EIGHT ATTRIBUTES OF THE HIGH‑PERFORMING TEAM
Wilson research has identified eight attributes typically present in teams that perform in the zone of inspiration:
• Participative leadership ‑ creating an interdependency by empowering, freeing up, and
serving others
• Shared responsibility ‑ establishing an environment in which all team members feel as responsible as the man ager for the performance of the work unit
• Aligned on purpose ‑ having a sense of common purpose about why the team exists and the function it serves
• High communication ‑ creating a climate of trust and open, honest communication
• Future focused ‑ seeing change as an opportunity for growth
• Focused on task ‑ keeping meetings focused on results
• Creative talents ‑ applying individual talents and creativity
• Rapid response ‑ identifying and acting on opportunities

Three Phases of Team Development
Establishing a high performance team is a developmental process. That is, a work unit must go through several phases of growth & change to become a high performance team. Most work units go through three phases, but all groups are not alike. Each passes through the phases at different rates & exhibits different patterns of interactions at each phase. Some indicators of team development, however, transcend these differences. You, as a manager, should consider these indicators, illustrated in the figure below, as you assess your team's development.

Phase 1 : Collection of Individuals
• When people are asked to work together, they initially form, a collection of individuals. This first phase gives individuals the opportunity to form identities within the work unit.
• Phase 1 teams tend to be individual centered, have individual goals
rather than group goals, do not share responsibility, avoid changes, & do not deal with conflict. Members begin to define their purpose & responsibilities, identify the skills of other members, & to develop norms for working with one another.

Phase 2 : Groups
• In the second developmental phase, work units begin forming groups. Members develop a group identity, define their roles, clarify their purpose & establish norms for working together. However, groups tend to be leader‑centered; the leader provides direction, assign tasks, reviews performance, & is the primary focus of communication.

Phase 3 : Team
• The final phase, & difficult to attain, is that of an actual high‑performance team, a team able to focus energy, respond rapidly to opportunities, & share both responsibilities & rewards. Teams are purpose‑centered; members not only understand the purpose but are committed to it & use the purpose to guide actions & decisions.
