Cultivate High-performing Teams with 5 Cs
When thinking about boosting your team’s performance, many find that the “5 Cs” are a pretty handy blueprint.
According to Gallup, a renowned global analytics and advisory firm that has been studying workplace and organisational performance for decades, the key to creating high-performing teams boils down to 5 critical elements:
Common Purpose, Connection, Communication, Collaboration, and Celebration.
✅ Common Purpose
When visions, missions, roles, and responsibilities are clearly defined, your teams are aligned with your company’s targeted growth trajectory or direction. Such alignment will then transform your teams into a cohesive and collaborative powerhouse.
✅ Connection
When team members connect and relate to one another based on their individual talents, they organically develop engaging and productive team cultures. To achieve this, it’s important to consider:
i) What actions make teams stay connected to one another?
ii) Who are the individuals on the team that act as cheerleaders, rallying everyone to connect with one another?
✅ Communication
When it comes to communicating effectively from the top down, managers need to understand that communication needs to be tailored to each individual team member.
Also, choosing the right person to be the information gatekeeper between you and your team is equally important.
He or she plays the crucial role of consolidating information from the manager to share with the team in a clear and effective way.
If a breakdown occurs in between, there could be devastating consequences.
As for ensuring seamless communication among team members, gauge where does your team excel or stall during the communication process, and what can be improved.
✅ Collaboration
Promote a spirit of cooperation and mutual support among team members. Does everyone in the team leverage each other’s talents and strengths? After all, teamwork makes the dream work, right?
✅ Celebration
Recognize and reward team accomplishments to boost morale and increase employee engagement. There’s nothing like making someone feel seen, heard, and appreciated; it bolsters employee loyalty, prolongs talent retention, and saves you the time and resources required to fill the talent gap.
