The Five Habits of High-Performing Teams

Our Crash the Barrier: Build Your Team® program is centered around the Five Habits of a High-Performing Team. These habits—developed through years of research—are essential for any team looking to boost performance and success. They are:

 

  1. Collaboration: Teams work together to produce or create something meaningful. This habit ensures that every member actively contributes to the team’s goals, fostering a spirit of cooperation.
  2. Purpose: The reason why a team exists. It’s not just about what the business sells, but what the customer buys. Purpose goes deeper into understanding the core value the team provides to its clients.
  3. Trust: Trust is multifaceted, involving communication, compassion, consistency, competency, ethics, and assumption. Building trust ensures that team members rely on each other and function cohesively.
  4. Accountability: Using the RA² approach, accountability is about responsibility for tasks, the authority to complete them, and holding each other to a high standard. It’s about proving reliability through actions.
  5. Engagement: This is the level of commitment an employee feels toward their work and the performance of the company. Engaged employees care about making a difference and put their best effort into their roles.
These habits form the foundation for a high-performing team and are the key focus areas of the workshop.

    Workshop Overview

    Our dynamic workshop is more than just training—it’s an experience. Through engaging simulations and interactive exercises, your team will:

    • Break Through Barriers within current team dynamics by diagnosing and addressing areas for improvement.
    • Plan and Problem-Solve effectively in real-world scenarios using our Hypersque simulation, which mirrors common team challenges.
    • Enhance Group Interactions to foster better communication, trust, and collaboration.
    • Analyze What Your Team Needs by assessing your team’s performance on the five habits, helping you focus on areas requiring attention.
    • Build a Customized Plan that you can immediately implement to strengthen your team’s effectiveness based on insights gathered during the simulation.

    The Hypersque Simulation

    The workshop incorporates a hands-on simulation where participants dive into a fictitious company called Hypersque. Hypersque, a 30-year-old organization, faces high employee turnover and internal discord between departments. Teams are tasked with diagnosing the issues within Hypersque by selecting and interviewing five key employees. Each interview offers insight into the company’s underlying problems.

    Participants don’t know the five habits before starting the simulation. They conduct their diagnosis based on what they observe, usually pinpointing the issues within collaboration, trust, accountability, engagement, and purpose. It’s only after they’ve completed their diagnosis that we introduce the five habits and give them habit cards to delve deeper into these concepts.

    At the end of the exercise, participants not only diagnose the problems at Hypersque but also reflect on their own team, identifying which of the five habits their team excels at and which areas need improvement. Each participant leaves with a plan to address these areas, ready to apply what they’ve learned in their real work environment.
