High Performance Teams
High Performance Teams are one of the most powerful organizational development and performance enhancement mechanisms available to Healthcare leadership today. Healthcare, more so than most other industries, suffers from excessive departmentalization and a prevailing mindset of the individual contributor culture. A high degree of specialization in most functions makes communication difficult. Building high performance teams and leveraging the expertise of skilled individuals across teams, driving associates to team-based processing yields substantial results for patients and physicians alike. High performance teams boost operational performance and morale among the work force in a way that few other efforts can offer.
The implementation of high performance teams is not simply the process of assigning individuals to teams. Once assigned, the high performance teams will typically go through 5 stages of development, and supporting the teams appropriately through these 5 stages will determine the success of the endeavor. The 5 stages of high performance team development are:
- Start up.
- State of confusion.
- Leader centered.
- Tightly formed.
- Self directed.
