The 3 Most Important Performance Criteria to Coach Your Employees On
Developing a high-performance team or organization begins with having the right people in the right seats on the bus, as Jim Collins wrote in “Good to Great.” To be the right person, you must live the company’s values, and to be in the right seat, you must have the skills to be a high performer in your position.

I find this start to the Five Dysfunctions of a Team so interesting when I look back over my career designing multi-million dollar racing yachts, because I directly experienced the truth of this statement, on multiple occasions. “Not finance”: I certainly worked on teams that had the financial resources we needed. It was not uncommon for America’s Cup teams to go through $100M in their attempt to win the trophy, but only one team at each regatta would prevail. In Formula 1 the annual budget cap is $140M for each team, and there are 10 teams, only one of whom will win. “Not strategy”: I don’t know about your experience, but I’ve certainly experienced leadership groups sitting around
