“Can you build us a high-performing team?”

It’s the #1 question People & Culture professionals get from leadership.

Short answer: HR can coach, enable and guide. But high performance starts with - and must be owned by - the team’s managers.

7people founder Ingeborg van Harten joins Flo to unpack what truly drives team performance - and why most organisations are measuring the wrong thing.

Some of the topics we cover:

• What factors really drive performance
• HR’s true role in performance management
• Performance vs Impact: Why most teams are measuring the wrong thing
• From forming to performing: Navigating (and accelerating) the stages of team development
• How leadership behaviour makes or breaks teams
• Why team culture is the type of behaviour you accept - good or bad
• How to handle underperformance - and the importance of having the difficult conversations early

Because business performance = people performance. And high-performing teams start with leaders who model and manage the right behaviours…with HR as the coach behind the coach.
