What makes high-performance teams excel?
Abstract
Managers who lead high-performance teams in highly competitive industries must balance complex interpersonal relationships with corporate deadlines and quality standards. Pressure on the team to perform and the leader to deliver can frequently produce detrimental outcomes. Insightful management of a diverse team of high-performing inter-organizational R&D professionals requires operational latitude for effective convergence of multiple complex relationships. IBM has cultivated and refined techniques that facilitate the commitment and community necessary for optimum team performance and successful product delivery. © 2009 Industrial Research Institute, Inc.
