5 Levels that create high-performing teams

You want to build a high-performing team to maximise business growth, but your team don’t work effectively together as they are too focused on their own objectives.

Here’s how a team coach can work with your team to drive alignment and focus on strategic priorities.

Patrick Lencioni suggests a high-performing team is successful at 5 levels, each building on the last.

Trust

• The team has good working relationships. A strong sense of trust exists and members are able to be vulnerable with each other

Positive conflict

• The presence of trust means the team provide input into discussions even when they disagree. Positive conflict is healthy and necessary

Commitment

• Their ability to provide input into discussions means they get behind decisions and commit to them

Accountability

• Because the team back decisions they commit to holding each other accountable

Attention to results

• Accountability means the team are focused on team results rather than on individual objectives

I use team coaching frameworks like this to create coaching programs that will build your high-performing team.
