The Team Charter: Performance-Focused Teams

Urgency in this era of competition requires organizations to:
1) be customer driven,
2) deliver total quality products and services,
3) continually innovate, and
4) grow revenue, profitability and the organization as a whole.

Performance Focused Teams are management’s choice in this time of increasing competition, limited resources and shortened time frames. Building a Performance Focused Team is a challenging, continuous and very rewarding process.

The process The Lachlan Group has developed is centered initially on building a Team Charter that focuses the direction and performance orientation of the team while developing the team’s ability to work closely together.

The process begins as team members rethink their present and future potential, their roles and responsibilities, what they value in their relationships and how they can work together more effectively in order to achieve their performance results. The challenge is for the team to develop a sense of cohesiveness and to harness the synergy that can result, while at the same time retaining respect for the individual and individual differences. Teams that successfully accept this challenge quickly learn how to maintain a sense of personal identity while sacrificing individuality to the degree necessary to achieve common team performance goals. They are able to transform individual effort into a winning team performance.

We would like to help your organization develop Performance Focused Teams using The Lachlan Group’s Team Charter approach. We have enjoyed very positive results with both new teams and with teams that have not been operating in a very successful or effective manner.
