For leaders who want to develop a high-performing team, here's a template to work from. I usually refer to it as the Hign-Performance Molecule. In training settings, I illustrate it with a graphic which depicts five essentials for team performance arranged to resemble a molecule.

The five elements of the molecule are Capability, Throughput, Efficiency, Reliability, and Trust. Each of these plays an indispensable role in achieving high performance as a team.

To capitalize on the potential of these elements, leaders and managers should pursue the following strategems:

  • Staff for Capability
  • Organize for Throughput
  • Innovate for Efficiency
  • Train for Reliability
  • Make Trust a Core Concern

This episode examines each of these five mandates and highlights key concepts to keep in mind when implementing them.
