High Performance Teams

The first characteristic of a high performance team is the ability to set a clear direction—i.e., the ability to clearly define and communicate the results the team wants to achieve. Accountability, culture change, and performance improvement begin with well-defined results. In fact, it makes little sense to initiate any accountability or culture change or performance improvement process without first clearly identifying the results (outcomes) you want and need to deliver.

High performance teams never initiate organizational change efforts without clearly defining the Key Results that must guide the desired change. Why? Because the most compelling reason to work on your organization’s accountability or culture or performance is to produce greater results. Remember, your culture produces your results, and your level of accountability determines the pace and effectiveness of your performance improvement.

Watch and listen to Ken Buchanan, Executive VP of Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport, as he talks about the power and unity that come from clearly defining the Key Results you want and need to deliver.
