Before a team ever meets....

3/28/2014

The most powerful determinant of team success may happen before a team ever meets. Researchers (Wageman et al, 2008; Hackman, 2011) estimate that the highest contribution to eventual team performance is the quality of pre-work a leader does in defining team purpose, composition and design.

Quality of team launch is second. Real-time coaching is a third, though small, factor. Of interest: the best coaching appears not to have much benefit for teams without good up-front design; and individual coaching of team members does not lead to much improvement—the team needs to be coached as a whole.
