Step 3. Transitioning from Group to Team
This is the latest in a series of blog posts on building a high performance team based on the principles described in my new book, Build the Perfect Team.
To build a perfect team, you must lead the transition from a group of individuals working on their own agendas to a team of members working together to achieve team and organizational goals.
The process for moving the group from dependence (on the leader) through counterdependence (when the leader helps the group to learn how to work together) to interdependence (when the leader and the team share leadership).
Most groups fail to overcome the challenges of the intermediate step (counterdependence) and thus remain stuck in the dependence stage and perform at a much lower level than their inherent potential.
You will learn the secrets to leading a group through this crucial transition stage to become a high performance team in Chapter 3 of the book.
