Antonio Nieto-Rodriguez, author of the new book, Harvard Business Review Project Management Handbook , explains that high-performing teams have these eight attributes : The team has time to meet and get to know each other. All team members participate to establish team goals. Each team member can describe the team’s primary purpose and expected goals. Team members have responsibilities in their area of expertise and are aware of how they can actively contribute to achieving the team’s goals. The team has a problem-solving culture and is encouraged to take risks. The team is capable of making decisions that are backed by the entire team in a timely manner. Team members feel free to voice conflicting points of view. Both the team and the individuals receive feedback regularly, and there is a mindset of continuous improvement.
