The steps needed to build team cohesion and the perennial problem of getting to grips with performance analytics were chief amongst the challenges faced by Leaders Performance Institute members in August.<\/p>\n \n \n \n

By Luke Whitworth<\/h6>\n
\u2018Good teams become great ones when the members trust each other enough to surrender the Me for the We.\u2019<\/h6>\n

This powerful quote from the legendary basketball coach Phil Jackson rings as true today as it did in his 1995 book Sacred Hoops<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Gain Line \u2013 who have worked with elite teams in business and sport for the past decade \u2013 contributed to last month\u2019s Leadership Skills Series session, which explored the dynamics of team cohesion and the datapoints that can help you to build that cohesion at speed.<\/p>\n

They express their findings through an equation: Skill x Cohesion = Capability. They suggest that even if a team has highly skilled individuals, their overall capability will be limited if they lack cohesion. Conversely, a team with lesser skill levels but high cohesion can outperform more skilled but less cohesive teams<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Leaders Performance Institute members were invited to share ways in which they feel cohesion can improve performance. They suggested:<\/p>\n
