Have you ever seen a team that works seamlessly together? It could have been a work team, school team, volunteer team, or even a sports team. When teams work well together, it seems that everything falls into place and runs smoothly. Everyone knows exactly what to do and when. This is called a high-performing team, and they do not happen overnight. Team members work hard and go through stages before becoming a high-performing team.

Maybe, you have been on a team or seen a team that cannot seem to have anything go right—a sports team that cannot get the ball through the hoop or soccer ball into the goal, a work team disagreeing on every detail, or a volunteer team not wanting to listen to anyone. It will happen at some point. You will see teams that work well together and teams that do not work at all together. Companies want to create high-performance teams because they work well together and increase productivity for the company.
