Developing High-Performance Teams

What They Are and How to Make Them Work

Create an organization in which people’s hearts are in their work.

People make these happen. Unfortunately, many people are motivated by compliance. Their hearts are not in their work. They get by, do the minimum required, and watch the clock. The organization reaps mediocrity. Other people are motivated by commitment. They care about the work they do, know that they are valued by their organization and can make a significant contribution to its success. The organization reaps vitality and excellence.
