• This group has a challenging task that it could or should tackle

• You want to learn how to coach this team

Definition

High Performance Teams are teams that are either trying to accomplish something that they do not know how to do; or, if they do know how to do it, they do not know how to do it within the time-frame that is available to them. Perhaps the team is trying to reach a never before achieved rate of error free production. Or maybe it’s a team that’s attempting to solve a particularly difficult business problem. Or, it may be a team that’s called together to redesign an entire business or industry. Whatever the case, such teams emerge in response to an unlikely or perhaps seemingly impossible challenge.
