The elements of a high performance team can be expressed in
different ways. The team can have a driving force to get the job done right.
The team can be focused not only on succeeding in accomplishing the minimum
standards but exceeding these standards. I see this every day when I go to work
with my squad mates. We tackle issues together and problem solves these issues
together and if we fail then we all fail. If one of us on the team makes a bad
decision it can reflect on the work performance of the whole squad. The team can have a shared goal in this
mission. The squads ultimate goal is shared and we understand the importance of
coming out with the same goal. The team is on the same page and realizes that
if the job is not done right it looks bad on everybody.
The
four patterns of working together are work groups which can encompass the
entire organization. In my organization I would consider the high performance
team as my squad who work together day in and day out. The work group can be
absorbing ideas from other squads or zones throughout my organization. We may work
as a work group but not quite at the level of a high performance team.
The
team can be viewed as individuals trying to achieve a common goal. This goal
can be different for each person but the end result and the commonality of
success may be shared by all that is involved. This will also require the
community working with the teams to achieve this goal. In my occupation this
can be the reliance of citizens helping by being the eyes and ears of our
organization. This can be achieved by networking and putting the word out there
in the form of crime watches.
Putting
the four patterns together I have had successes and failures during my process.
I had an experience when I was a detective of utilizing all four of the
patterns where I had patrol assist me in locating evidence and securing the
evidence. This ensured that the case when presented at trial would not be
compromised. I also asked the public to assist me in identifying potential
witness to the subject’s whereabouts during a certain time frame. I used social
media and networking assets to assist me in gaining more information. The outcome
was great and a successful arrest and conviction was obtained.
In the
negative result of this team’s assignment I was working a case with a fellow detective.
During my assist on this case I was always running into a situation where I had
to almost plead with the other detective for more information to assist me in
my role of the investigation. The other detective continually stated that he
couldn’t give me any further information because it would compromise his
investigation. Now I can say that we were working on the same case and I concluded
by his actions that he was afraid he was not going to get any credit for the
case.
I could
have pushed harder on the detective to remind him that we wanted the same
result of any case. The end result is arrest and successful prosecution and the
clearance of the case. By pushing this issue I think this could of resulted in
a smoother operation and quicker resolution.
