Overview
What truly defines a high performance team? For years, leadership experts have used the term loosely, failing to distinguish between teams that perform at a high level and those that must perform at an elite level under intense pressure.
The 5 Levels of High Performance Teams challenges the current literature and outdated definitions of high-performance teams by revealing a new classification system that distinguishes high performing teams (HPiTs) from high performance teams (HPaTs). Through extensive research and real-world experience, Dr. Michael W. Woody surveys the entire workforce, demonstrating that not all teams are equal—and that recognizing these differences is the key to unlocking elite team performance without toxicity or burnout.
As part of his research on high performance teams (HPaTs), Dr. Woody developed the Balanced Duality (B-D) Model, a groundbreaking framework that explains how leaders can balance team behavior and dynamics to sustain both high performance and individual well-being. Whether in corporate boardrooms, emergency response units, military operations, elite sports teams, or high-stakes project management, the ability to consistently deliver excellence depends on a team’s structure, mission, and the environment in which they operate. This book provides actionable strategies for leaders at all levels to cultivate sustainable high performance while protecting the well-being of their teams.
Backed by decades of leadership experience and cutting edge research, this book redefines what it means to be a high performance team, providing a groundbreaking blueprint for leaders, executives, coaches, and professionals who want to build teams that thrive under pressure and consistently deliver results.
Includes expert insights and real-world examples of high performance teams in action!
