• You cannot succeed alone.
• You need a team of the brightest people you can possibly find to help you.
• You need to help the team work extremely well together.
• You need the team to support you with enthusiasm, respect and trust.
• But don’t take my word for it…

Typical ways that team members violate the team leader’s expectations:
• Missing or being late to team meetings.
• Not outwardly demonstrating commitment and support for the leader’s agenda.
• Not completing assignments in a timely manner so the team can complete its work.
• Not letting the leader know when there are problems or issues.
• Not sharing resources with other team members.
• Not sharing credit with the rest of the team.
• Not responding to e-mails or voice mails in a timely manner.
Mayo Clinic
Typical ways that team leaders violate team members’ expectations:
• Micromanaging – not giving autonomy.
• Making decisions that effect subordinates without their input.
• Letting team members shirk their duties without any negative consequences.
• Not giving praise or rewards for a job well done.
• Not recognizing that the subordinate has a life outside of work that occasionally takes priority over work.
Mayo Clinic
Let’s take a close look at what some of the top
thought leaders in the world have to say about teams…
Mayo Clinic
A Vivid Shared Vision
A meaningful common purpose that the
team has helped shape. Most teams are
responding to an initial mandate from
outside the team. But to be successful, the
team must “own” this purpose, develop its
own spin on it, and they must create
this vision together as a team.
Mayo Clinic
Clear Measurable GoalsSpecific performance goals that flow fromthe common purpose. For example, gettinga project completed in less than halfthe normal time. Compelling goals inspireand challenge a team, give it a sense ofurgency. They also have a leveling effect,requiring members to focus on the collectiveeffort necessary rather than any differencesin title or status.
Mayo Clinic
Competence + Diversity
A mix of complementary skills. Successful teams rarely have all the needed skills at the outset —they develop them as they learn what the challenge requires.
Individual greatness…leading to team excellence
Mayo Clinic
Solid Work Ethic
A strong commitment to how the work
gets done. Teams must agree on who will
do what jobs, how schedules will be
established and honored, and how decisions will be made and modified. On a genuine
team, each member does equivalent amounts
of real work; all members, the leader included.
Mayo Clinic
Team Trust
Trust and commitment cannot be coerced. The process of agreeing upon appropriate goals serves as the crucible in which members forge their accountability to each other… not just to the leader or manager.
