7-Step Guide to Optimize Team Potential

High Performing Managers Optimize Team Potential

They do what it takes to get their team to fire on all cylinders by effectively holding people accountable to clear roles and responsibilities, aligning skills and strengths, closing gaps, and building strong partnerships with key stakeholders.

We know from people manager assessment center data and new manager training participants that a team’s potential is rooted in its ability to collaborate effectively, innovate consistently, and adapt to changing circumstances.

Leaders who invest in building cohesive, empowered teams can achieve superior business AND people outcomes.

High Performing Teams by Design

High performing teams don’t happen by accident. They are intentional, focused, committed, and have a better chance of success together.

Transforming from a group of talented people into a team whose collective impact exceeds what is possible for any one individual requires strategic clarity, authentic connection, and the ability to mobilize everyone on the team to propel shared goals forward.

Strategic Believability: A Research-Backed Guide


An effective business strategy should help to create a competitive advantage. But too many fail at an important ingredient: believability.

We know from organizational alignment research that strategy accounts for 31% of the difference between high and low performing organizations. However, crafting a corporate strategy is only half the battle; ensuring it resonates as believable and achievable to your key stakeholders is where many organizations falter.

To succeed, a business strategy must inspire confidence and commitment among those tasked with implementing it. Without strategic believability, buy-in, and commitment, even the most visionary and meticulously planned strategic initiatives are at risk.

 Strategic Trust

Trustworthiness in strategy hinges on:

  • Transparency.
  • Credibility.
  • Trust.

A believable strategy bridges the gap between ambition and execution by offering a realistic roadmap for achieving outcomes that are worth pursuing.

To get on board, employees, investors, and partners need to perceive the strategy as both worthwhile to achieve and as solidly grounded in the organization’s capabilities and resources.

A lack of strategic believability can stem from overreaching goals, vague plans, or ignoring critical internal and external realities. When stakeholders doubt the feasibility of a strategy, they may disengage, slowing momentum and creating barriers to progress.
