10 STRATEGIES FOR HIGH PERFORMANCE TEAMS


ATTACK – Products often fail because of poor implementation. Leaders attack obstacles and barriers at all levels.
POSITION – Leading firms are forming entrepreneurial teams to promote them on the “edges” of their organizations, closest to the customer.
DELEGATE – Teams need room to run; to experiment and even fail. Management controls through vision, culture, and regular updates.
INSPIRE – Innovation depends on creativity, but we are mostly critical thinkers. Leaders close this gap through training and culture.
PLAN – The best planning tool for entrepreneurial teams is a business model. It welcomes iteration and eliminates distraction.
IDENTIFY – Observe customers in real life. Look for big problems, “Pain points.” Experts use a technique known as Customer Immersion.
EXPAND – Innovation benefits from diversity. Ask partners throughout the supply chain to bring ideas.
DIFFERENTIATE – Value propositions have to stand out. Put into a Strategic Positioning Statement:  *Target Audience  * USP  * Reason Why  *Brand Character
COMPEL – Humans communicate through stories. The more compelling, the more likely they’ll get passed to others, activating social networks.
TRACK - A process is a systematic method of putting organizations to work. Unlike simple planning, it provides measurable feedback - necessary for continuous improvement.
