What indicates Team Effectiveness?
Wageman & Lowe based on Hackman
1. The team’s output meets or exceeds the needs of those who use it. In
other words, all teams have some client or constituency that they
serve, whether internal or external to the organization, and it is the
client’s standards that matter in assessing team performance.
1 Real team. Real teams (a) have clear boundaries; (b) are interdependent
for some common purpose; and (c) have at least some stability of
membership, which gives members time and opportunity to learn how to
work together well.
2 Compelling purpose. The specification of the team’s overall purposes is
(a) challenging (which energizes members); (b) clear (which orients them to
their main purposes); and (c) consequential (which engages the full range of
their talents).
3 Right people. A well-composed team is one in which members have the
knowledge and skills needed to accomplish the team’s purpose, including
basic teamwork skills. They also are adequately diverse—neither so alike
that they cannot bring a range of perspectives to bear on the work, nor so
different they cannot understand each other.
Conditions for team effectiveness
Wageman & Lowe based on Hackman
4 Enabling structure.
(a) Task design. The team task is a whole and meaningful piece of work for
which members have autonomy to exercise judgment about work
procedures, and that provides members with regular and trustworthy
data about how well the team is doing.
(b) Core norms of conduct. The team clearly and explicitly specifies both
those member behaviours that are especially valued and those that are
unacceptable.
(c) Team size. The team consists of a small but significant number of
individuals (i.e., 6–8) who each bring unique value to realizing the
team’s purpose.
Conditions for team effectiveness
Wageman & Lowe based on Hackman
1 Real team: Does this work need a team? Can there be a reasonably stable
group of members? How can they be kept together long enough for people
to learn to work with each other effectively?
2 Compelling purpose: What is the importance of this team to its clients
and to the organizational mission? What picture can be painted to allow the
members to see what success will look like?
3 Right people: Which team members with both the task skills and the
teamwork skills will be convened to accomplish those purposes?
4 Solid structure: Which norms and work practices will help them succeed?
5 Supportive organizational context: Which resources will they need? How
can team excellence be rewarded?
6 Team coaching: How will the team increase process gains and reduce
process losses on an ongoing basis? Who will coach the team?
“Although there is no guaranteed how-to recipe for building team
performance, we observed a number of approaches shared by
many successful teams.”
Katzenbach & Smith
