Earlier this year we featured an article on how
to create and sustain high-performance teams. This issue continues
our discussion on high-performance teams by exploring the team innovation
process. You'll discover that much like creating the conditions
for high-performance teams, exemplary leaders must also create the
conditions for successful team innovation.
This issue also features some fresh perspectives on how great leaders
inspire the best in others and offers some tips on avoiding the
flavor-of-the-month syndrome.
Human Performance Strategies works with leaders who want to perform
at their best and inspire the best from their people. Our only purpose
is to help you improve your leadership performance, team and organizational
effectiveness, and bottom-line business results. Our e-zine is published
as a resource for senior business leaders. Our objective is to offer

Understanding the Team Innovation Process
While most business leaders seek innovation in new product and
service development, few are able to create and sustain the conditions
necessary for team innovation. Innovative, high-performance teams
do things very differently and very deliberately. In simple terms,
they do the right thing at the right time. However, there is more
to the successful team innovation process. [more]
How Great Leaders Inspire the Best from Their People
Being inspired is unique to the individual, and inspiration has
different meanings for different people. Inspiration can stimulate
both the intellect and emotion and often motivates people to action.
Inspiration fills people with emotion, which then stimulates creativity,
influence, and meaningful contribution. [more]
Avoiding Flavor-of-the-Month Syndrome
There's a common phrase that seems appropriate in setting the stage
for this article, which is "good intentions; bad results."
Despite our best efforts, many well-intentioned initiatives often
become flavors of the month. Perhaps at some point in your career
you, too, were convinced that a particular initiative would not
become the latest flavor of the month. Unfortunately, it did. [more]
