As per the existing work culture in the business domain, corporate success revolves around the performance of the organizational teams. A team usually comprises a team leader or manager, heading a group of diverse individuals with varied potential and expertise levels. How well a team performs translates directly into the overall performance of the organization. So what are high-performing teams? How are they different from the usual teams? Let’s find out. Team to High Performing Team – The Transition The journey starts from a workgroup becoming a potential team, then a real team, and ultimately transitions into high performing unit or team. According to Katzenbach and Smith, a workgroup can transition into high-performing teams, provided they make the decision willingly. Additionally, each member would have to dedicate time and energy to make that happen. They should be willing to take up the challenge of seeing their performance falter during the transition phase. In their study, they have defined high performing team as individuals who as a group is highly committed to accelerate the growth of each other and the team.
