To help achieve this, the leader may lead them to experience some team-building activities. It is difficult for the team to learn to trust without opportunities to build that trust. Team members need to function together enough to learn to depend on each other to get the job done. The leader who is functioning in the coaching role provides these kinds of experiences for the team. When the leader sees that the team is bogged down in nonessentials or nonissues, it's time to go into the coaching mode and begin moving the team to achieve its task.
Respect is another requirement for high performance.
The leader must have respect for each team member, and the members must respect the leader as well as each other. This respect is reflected in the ground rules the team establishes when the team is structuring. It is also reflected in the way team meetings are conducted and team members respond to each other. Each person is given the opportunity to participate, share ideas and suggestions, and each idea or solution is given equal time. Team members are encouraged to use their strengths to help the team accomplish the tasks it has been given.
