“Operating as a Team” is Module 5 of the Scaling Culture Masterclass that consists of 8 Modules.
Good sports teams operate better than most companies. They're hard to get on, and they're hard to stay on. They expect their players to train constantly, sharpen their skills, and turn in a peak performance every time. They build robust systems of communication and accountability. They always challenge and support the players to bring out their best. The experience of being on a top team is life changing.
Ultimately, it only works if the team works together. They have to put the team's success ahead of their own desire to shine or dominate others. They must be unified in their purpose.
Now, think about your own team. Are the internal standards high, and are team members held accountable? Do people love being on the team? If you can't say yes, you need to do some work. Your organization should be like a professional sports team—something many people want but that only a select few can enjoy.
Would you describe your team as high-performing and resilient?
Does your team perform at the same level, whether or not the leader is present?
Does your team lean on each other to solve their biggest challenges?
Do the individuals on your team always put the group's goals before their personal goals?
Leaders should ask themselves those questions consistently.
