S A SENIOR BUSINESS LEADER, you think about whether you are getting the best from your
managers and their teams. Is their performance good enough to achieve the longer-term
strategic objectives facing the organization? How motivated are they to overcome gaps in
delivery? Are they growing and thriving in ways that will give you a competitive edge? What ways
can you motivate teams and keep your entire workforce energized to meet even more demands?
Investment in these two critical leadership skills may be the answer:
• The skill to lead a team to achieve high performance.
• The skill to develop individual talent through coaching and performance goals.
A highly motivated team is one that demonstrates collective commitment to its shared goals, is
exceedingly productive and fundamentally self-managing. This level of performance is achieved by
knowing how to help a team through its stages of development, and how to modulate your leadership
style at each stage. One of the most popular models of team development is the Tuckman model and
it describes these stages of forming, storming, norming and performing.
• In the forming stage a team needs direction in order to minimize uncertainty and a structure to
help clarify goals, roles and responsibilities.
