Casual Articles - High Performing Teams: 10 Things You Want To Know About Building A High Performing Team
Sweepstakes are promotions where prizes are given away for free. They differ from a lottery or most contests because you are not required to purchase anything to enter. However, you are required to fill out a registration form and in many cases answer survey or poll questions.To publicize the sweepstakes, companies use various modes of distribution to the consumer including direct mail, the internet and the telephone. These are all costly forms of marketing and when you add an expensive sweepstakes prize, one might wonder what the company gets in return. Usually, the sponsoring company is so successful in their marketing tactics that substantial revenue is earned no matter what the expense.Of course, when entering any form of sweepstakes, be prepared to be put on a number of opt-in email lists. You don’t always have to buy anything, but usual
The United States Border Patrol needs a better public relations policy and the American people need to know what's going on there. We find that the borders between the United States and Mexico still leak and people are still coming over here as illegal aliens. If the Border Patrol cannot police our own borders how are they going to stop international terrorist from coming over the border?Recently we learned that over 20 Border Patrol Officers were caught taking bribes to allow shipments over the border of drugs or illegal aliens. Now I understand that a Border Patrol Officer does not make all that much money and they believe that they can get extra money in taking bribes from drug dealers and coyotes. However, this is unacceptable behavior from a Border Patrol Officer and as far as I'm concerned these people are traitors and would have been shot

When I was a Venue Media manager with the Commonwealth Games, I received some of the best coverage of the venues that I was looking after. I had some people ask me what was my secret.I first inquired what they were doing and found out that some of them had an attitude of seeing the media as something to be suspicious of, to keep at bay and give as little as possible. In turn, the media had little regard for them as well.There are many people who treat the media this way as well when it comes to their business, and then hope that the media will give them great coverage and a good story as well. This is a receipt for disaster.First, true media does not have the time or energy to "GET" everyone. Often the people end up getting themselves in their worry or nervousness. They may say something dumb or negative or attack the reporter who i

An interesting aspect of the proposed new Security & Exchange Commission (SEC) regulations on Executive Compensation relate to the need to supply justification for their decisions (see February 2006 issue for details of the proposed regulation). Currently, most Boards provide a written section, which discusses their general philosophy, such as “providing a total compensation package for executives that is competitive with a group of comparable companies”. In recent public filings, the narrative has even spelled out relative to the measures that will be used in evaluating the level of performance achieved, in order to show that the Compensation Committee has imposed realistic performance metrics as the justification for granting incentives and equity based awards.In the past, the specific numerical targets have not been provided, even though the pe
When attending a Chamber of Commerce breakfast networking get-together, I'm always perplexed by the lack of thought and preparation many business owners display when giving a 60-second overview of their business. These people have spent enormous amounts of time, money, and energy on their businesses. Yet, when asked to give a quick synopsis, they fumble for the right words, they ramble, they go off on a tangent, the information is disjointed, or the words are boring and seemingly unimportant.Their performance creates a very poor representation of what is otherwise a very good business. Listeners have forgotten the pitch before it's even over!Some people have a natural gift for speaking well extemporaneously, and they manage the process with great self-control. But, for the other 80% to 90%, it's a different st
High performing teams are not about high performing people just getting on with it.
Getting things done through teams is a strategic choice. Like any strategy, “getting on with it” actually requires some up front and on-going investment in building clarity, trust, relationships, accountability, commitment, and process.
If not, call yourself a working group not a team. A working group is a bunch of individual contributors who focus on their own piece, based on shared information, rather than getting things done that serve the whole. Be clear about what you’re choosing.
High performing teams have high performing sponsors and leaders. High performing sponsors champion the work of the team and have the authority to make the work happen, including authority over th
