CRITERIA OF A TEAM

3. Mutual accountability—Common rewards/responsibilities for achievement

4. Interdependence–Set aside individual needs for the greater good of the team

5 DYSFUNCTIONS OF A TEAMBY PATRICK LENCIONI

Now, think about your team back at school. Assess yourself.

 

“For a team to establish real trust, team members, beginning with the leader, must be willing to take risks without a guarantee of success. They will have to be

vulnerable without knowing whether that vulnerability will be

respected and reciprocated.”

 

-Patrick Lencioni

PERSONAL HISTORIES EXERCISE

2. How many kids were in your family?

“For a team to master conflict, the team leader must avoid interrupting a

disagreement too soon.”

-Patrick Lencioni

“To truly achieve commitment, the leader must make a clear decision, even if it turns out to be the wrong

one.”

2 WAYS TO ACHIEVE COMMITMENT

Commitment Clarification

Cascading Communication

Sometimes strong leaders naturally create an accountability vacuum within the team, leaving themselves as the only

source of discipline.

THREE WAYS TO EMBRACE ACCOUNTABILITYLightening Rod

Spend the first few minutes of a meeting with a whip around of what everyone is working on. If a teammate is dominating the time, address them – that gives us practice in holding each other accountable.

Goal Check

Begin meetings revisiting data about the ONE goal your team is working towards. Ask, “What needs to stop, start and continue for us to keep making progress towards our goal?”

Glow & Grow

For each teammate, share the chief contributor and distractor to team progress. The leader always goes first and models vulnerability without defensiveness. End by sharing the one thing each person plans to work on.

GLOW & GROW PROTOCOL

1 min. Think – about each teammate. What is his/her biggest contributor and distractor to our team’s success?

4 min. Share – no defensive response allowed, comments like “I hear you,” and “I can see that” are welcomed. (1 min per person)

1 min. Think – what ONE THING do I pledge to work on to make my team more successful?

2 min. Share – what each teammate will work on

Only by ensuring that the people on your team are committed to collective results

ahead of their own needs, and by keeping them focused on those results, can you avoid the kind of individualization

that breaks teams apart.
