    High Performance TeamsWe will explore what it takes for a work group to become a high performance team. We'll look at how these teams are built and how a high-performing team could benefit a business and see how demographics and cultural diversity affect them. High-performance teams are teams that come together for a specific important task. It is important that everyone who is part of the high performance team has the same goal and/or objectives. If teammates have different goals or motivations, it can be difficult for the team to be effective. Everyone on the team must trust or learn to trust each other. Besides trust, which can be even more important, there is respect. Respect is a very important aspect in any type of team, especially in a high performance team. If all members of the high-performance team trust and respect each other, it is easier to succeed. Performance is vital in any business, so before taking action on a project, a high-performance team will need to create a detailed plan. Each team member should be responsible for one specific thing. For example, if one team member is responsible for writing and taking notes and another member must speak on behalf of the group, acting as spokesperson. If each member is given a certain task for which they are responsible; then everyone has more time to perfect this work. A brainstorming session is a good way to come up with a good plan that everyone on the team will be happy with. After brainstorming; Drawing canvases, outlines, and reviewing goals, pros, and cons will help the team understand exactly what they want to do and how they plan to achieve that goal. Team members should know how important a project is to the company and strive to achieve the goals professionally. Each member must bring one hundred and ten percent of their contribution to the group so that the project is the best possible. Each team member should be rewarded individually for their performance, ideas and total beneficial contribution to the team. Communication is key to any productive team. Without good communication within a high-performing team, it will be very difficult for the team to achieve victory on the project they are trying to accomplish..
