High Performance Fuels Team Cohesion

Team success is largely influenced by its design rather than the interpersonal dynamics among members. The initial conditions established before team interaction accounts for 60% of performance variance. Effective team design focuses on establishing stable membership, compelling goals, and clearly defined roles. Successful collaboration arises from purposeful design, not merely shared spaces or projects. Insightful elements of design include ensuring clear responsibilities and fostering a sense of shared purpose, which are often overlooked yet crucial for achieving high performance.
