High performance in teams doesn’t happen by accident. When I think about the teams I’ve been part of where we performed really well over time, in each case, this high performance wasn’t accidental. It was carefully nurtured by the leader of that team. These leaders were purposeful in doing a few specific things.

One misguided, although altruistic, idea is that everyone should be trying to save the world from problems such as racism and global warming. People agonize over their inability to fix the issues that continue to cause harm. One person, try as they might, will find it difficult to make a dent in these behemoth problems. However, the power for real change could be right next door.

1. Feedback is Data. "Feedback is a gift," or so we're told, and yet sometimes that "gift" is quite painful to receive. This is a theme in my work with leaders, who routinely find themselves the subject of sharp criticism in company surveys, 360 reports, Glassdoor reviews, and social media, among other places. My clients aren't looking for pity--as leaders they understand that negative feedback comes with the territory.

Employee recognition has often been deemed a "feel-good" initiative, tied closely to rewards. While we understand its importance, we tend to associate recognition with intangible outcomes like engagement and sentiment, rather than direct impacts on retention and high performance. In today’s workplace, the true ROI of recognition lies in its ability to regenerate tangible, business-driven results.
