Summary
========

High Performance Teams are not created by accident. They develop on purpose, and the following principles will play a major roll in turning your team into a high performance machine.

It begins really with the end in mind. So you want a thriving team of 100 or 1000. Or maybe you need your current team of 20 to step up to the plate. Let’s start out by STOP thinking about the numbers, and start thinking about the ideal values of a high performance team player. And more importantly, what values should your inner circle, your core 5, team members possess?

By defining WHO should be in your CORE 5, you really are determining what the rest of your team will look like. On the other hand, by not defining, and living up to that definition yourself, you end up with what most people end up with – a floundering team at best.

Next, you should expect to share your vision with at least 5 times the amount of people you’re personally looking to mentor. If you want a Core 5 then expect to spend time with 25 or more to accomplish this, but understand it is whatever it takes until you find the 5 that match with your value system.

Lastly, set a solid deadline of 90 days or less to begin building your Core 5. Understand that you may have a team of 20-50 or more before you’ve even identified who they are. By moving with focused, urgency you will attract other people with the values you currently possess. So keep getting better to attract better.
