Compared with ordinary teams, the differences between high-performance wolf teams are specifically reflected in the following eight aspects:

(1) Clear goals.

Successful leaders often advocate result-oriented teamwork and aim to achieve extraordinary results. They are always very clear about their own and the group's goals, and they understand the importance of involving every partner in the process of describing goals and visions.

The leader of a high-performance wolf team will often establish team goals with his members, and do his best to make every member clearly understand and agree with the team goals, and point out a clear direction to the team members. . When the team's goals and vision are not determined by the team leader alone, but are generated through consultation among the team members, the team members have a feeling of "ownership" and believe from the bottom of their hearts that "this is our goal and Vision".

(2) Solidarity and mutual assistance.

In high-performance teams, you can often see team members discussing problems freely with the team leader and requesting: "I am currently having this difficulty, can you help me?" When everyone comments When there are disagreements, or even when opinions are opposed, we are willing to be open-minded, seek solutions to problems calmly, seek common ground while reserving differences, and take harmonious and consistent actions.

(3) Mutual recognition.

In high-performance teams, team members can all feel "I feel appreciated and supported by others." We can often hear words such as "I think you can do it", "You are the best", "You are the best", "Our team can't live without you". These words of praise and recognition are undoubtedly the booster that team members need, which improves the self-esteem and self-confidence of each member and drives them to work together to achieve the team's goals.

(4) Speak freely.

High-performance teams will provide a stage for two-way communication among team members. Everyone can freely, openly, freely and honestly express their opinions, feelings, and even joy, anger, sorrow, and joy. Even if a certain idea sounds outrageous, it will not cause others to look down upon it, because they know that many great ideas are almost ridiculed when they are first proposed.

Working together must rely on everyone to maintain a sincere two-way communication. Only in this way can a team become more perfect day by day. Team members in high-performing teams feel able to "be their true selves" and can speak freely without any worries.

(5) Listen to each other.

A team leader said: “I strive to create an atmosphere where team members respect each other and listen to other partners’ opinions. In my team, I have a group of open-minded partners who are really willing to know other partners. partners’ ideas. They demonstrate a listening style and skill that no other team can match, and it’s so exciting!”

(6) Intense engagement.

Nowadays, countless organizations are practicing "participation management", and leaders believe that this approach can satisfy the human psychology of "being respected if you participate." Members of high-performing teams always exude an unstoppable enthusiasm for participation. They are very proactive and never miss any opportunity to participate.

Mary Kay Ash, founder of Mary Kay Cosmetics Company, said: "An effective manager will involve team members in the conception stage of the plan. I think involving team members is beneficial to them. Decisions that directly impact are important, so I'm always willing to take the risk of losing time. "If you want your team members to all support you, you have to involve them, and the members who get involved early will always support their involvement. Things, the power gathered by the team at this time is absolutely unimaginable.

(7) Everyone has their own responsibility.

Every member of a high-performance team clearly understands what role he plays, knows what impact personal actions will have on the achievement of team goals, and knows what to do and what not to do. , each other also understands the requirements of other members for themselves.

When high-performance teams divide work, it is easy to establish mutual expectations and dependence. Everyone feels that they are dependent on each other. Life and death, success or failure of the team are very important to themselves. weight, and avoid conflicts between them.

(8) Determined.

Genuine interdependence and support are the foundation of teamwork. Likert spent several years conducting research and found that participatory organizations have one characteristic - management trusts team members, and team members also trust managers. Almost all winning organizations are fully committed to researching how to cultivate parallel trust between superiors and subordinates. sense to keep the morale of the organization strong.

The goal of team management is to create a high-performance team. From the perspective of high-performance team building, building a high-performance team is inseparable from high-quality leadership.

(2) High-quality team members.

For a team, the quality of the members cannot be overemphasized, because the team size is generally small. If a team of 5 has two low-quality players, it will be difficult for the team to work smoothly.
