Fundamentals of Creating A Team


Maureen Moriarty, a Seattle-based executive coach, has developed these factors which impact team performance:


  1. Trust.

  2. Clarity in purpose, goals/objectives, roles, responsibilities and expectations.

  3. The necessary skills/ resources/protection to meet objectives.

  4. Healthy conflict.

  5. Clear decision-making.

  6. Accountability.

  7. Finding ways to work better together.

  8. Reward and recognize.

It takes hard work to ensure everyone on the team is on the same page. Take a honest look at your team – are you giving them all the skills and resources in order to achieve success?
