Between the time a team is launched and the time it deliversresults, managers need to know that the team is on course. Whetherthey have launched a team to achieve a business objective or haveinherited a team, they need to monitor effectiveness on an ongoingbasis and make course corrections that keep small problems frombecoming major disasters.
Monitoring and maintaining team performance is a key element ofleading a team. You can provide that leadership by paying attentionto four important dimensions: team member effort, team memberknowledge and skills, team tactics, and group dynamics. By focusingon those four areas, you can assess your team's performance,zero in on areas of weakness, and take the corrective measuresnecessary to ensure peak performance and to deliver expectedresults.

This series of guidebooks draws on the practical knowledge that theCenter for Creative Leadership (CCL) has generated, sinceits inception in 1970, through its research and educationalactivity conducted in partnership with hundreds of thousands ofmanagers and executives. Much of this knowledge is shared-in a waythat is distinct from the typical university department,professional association, or consultancy. CCL is not simply acollection of individual experts, although the individualcredentials of its staff are impressive; rather it is a community,with its members holding certain principles in common and workingtogether to understand and generate practical responses to today'sleadership and organizational challenges.
