Warrick What Leaders Can Learn About Teamwork and Developing High Performance Teams From Organization Development Practitioners {troduction “The ability of organizations tobe skilled at teamwork and building high perfor mance teams is a major key to competitive advantage and may very well determine the future successor failure of many organiza- tions. The payoffs of teamwork are well documented (see for eample, Katzenback & Smith, 993; LaFasto & Larson, 2001; McShane & Von Glinow, 2010; Hellriegel & Slocum, 201; Lv, 2011), Teamaoriecan significantly improve performance, effec. tiveness, efficiency, moral, job satisfaction, unity of purpose, communications, inno- vative thinking, quality, speed in geting ‘things done, and loyalty to an organization. By contrast, organizations that are not stalled at teamwork are sure to underutilize their potential and are just as sure to suffer ‘he many internal and extemal conse- ‘quences that a lack of teamwork brings. ft sakes sense tha organizations ofall types sand sizes from the private, public, non- profit, athletic, lta, and other sectors ‘Should make fearnwork a high priority and that leaders should be trained to e sled ‘in developing high performance teams, ‘The irony is that while visually everyone believes in teamwork, lead ‘xs possionately preach the importance of teamwork, an abundance of research supports the value of texmmmork, and ‘teamwork is almost aways 3 central theme of ext books and practitioner books on leadership and how to build euccessful cotganizations, most organizations do litle if anything to Dud learmwork In fac, leaders are rarely wained how to buld teamwork and high performance teams, and exganization cultures, designs, prior. ties, pressures, and rewards often diteour- age teamwork Yes, there ae excellent ‘amples of teamwork in some organisa: tious, athletic teams, the miliary, and afew other organizations. However excelling at teamwork isnot the norm. 1 you want a reality check on how effective organiza tions are at teamwork, gather 3 sampling ‘of people from your own organization oF different organizations together and zsk the following questions: Do you believe that teamwork is important to the success of an organization? Does your organization excel a team work at the op, within teams, and between teams? Do you believe tht your organtzstion values and rewards tenrwork and, Deing a team player? ‘What does your organization do to taain leaders how ta build high perf mance tears? 68 OD PRACTIRONER Vola6'8a.3. 2014 ‘The Valuable Contribution Organtzation Development Practitioners Can Make in ‘raining Leaders How to Bulld Teamwork and High Performance Teams Organtation development practitioners are uniquely qualified to address the teamwork dilemma by championing the importance of teamwork and by multiplying thelr effects by taining leaders inthe fundamentals of what OD practitioners do to build teamwork and high performance teams. For purposes ofthis article, ! am defining OD pract- loners as thore who are trained in OD and practice OD asa professioa, or use ‘OD in how they approach their jobs, Por readers who may not be familiar with OD, there are many-definiions of OD (Cue mings & Worley, 2001; Warrick, 2005; Rothwell, Stavros, Sullivan, & Sullivan, 2016). The definition that Iara using for this article i that OD ig a planned and collaborative process for understanding, developing, and changing organizations ‘to improve their health, effectiveness, and selfrenening capabilities ‘One of the early distinctives of OD ‘yas Its emphaeis on teamwork, collabora- ‘ion, and team building, and on the core value of transference, meaning that OD practitioners are committed to transfering, ‘what they know, Thus, OD practioners ‘should be well tained in how to foster teamwork and high performance tears and should be willing to share what they Ihave leamed. "The purpose ofthis article isto potnt foatthe need for organizations to excel at teamwork ifthey are going to succeed ‘in these timer of dynamic change and unrelenting competition, and to encourage OD practitioners to champion the need {for teamwork, to help organizations build teamwork, and to multiply thelr efforts by ‘waning lesdets In the fandamentals of what they know and do to develop team ‘work and high performance teams. The potential payels ofthese efforts to organi- ‘ations could be substantial and could even determine thet future successor failure. In this article a prototype of how this can bbe done Is provided to encourage OD prac- titoners to create their owm approaches. ‘Comenunicating the Important Difference Between Experientia and Action Team Building ‘To gin the interest of leaders in lear ing how to bulé high performance tears, itis important oc he di ference besween experiential and ection team bull: Ifyou ask leaders what comes to mind when they hear the tem team building, they wil typically sy that itmeans ding a series of experiential cvereiss such 2s trust val and trust fills {hat some would just as soon avid.
