Building a high performance team - DATE CHANGED FROM 22.03.24 TO 24.05.24

We take an approach to building high performance teams that is based around the principle that if we can strengthen the relationships as a starting point, when that pressure kicks in, people are more likely to assume positive intent.
We know that high performance teams are built on a foundation of trust and "psychological safety".
We will explore strategies which help create this, given the current climate of change and ever-changing goalposts.
When psychological safety is in place, teams are able to leverage the cognitive diversity that exists within the team that enables them to problem solve more effectively.

It has never been more difficult to build a high performance team. Stress and pressure can result in teams becoming dysfunctional as we, people, are more likely to assume negative intent that sits behind behaviour. This can often result in relationships which become strained and sometimes broken all together.
