Developing High Performance Teams Third Edition brings together Walt Natemeyer, of North American Training and Development, Inc. and Paul Hill, previous managing director of Mission Control at Johnson Space Center, in their unique collaboration to provide team building and strategic planning activities aimed at dramatically increasing team effectiveness. North American Training and Development, Inc. has developed and refined these techniques working with more than 100 organizations over the past 45 years. One of the most gratifying aspects of our work has been the opportunity to observe the increased vitality, performance, and satisfaction that result from evolving into a “High Performance Team.” In this third edition, there are added examples showing how many of these techniques have been applied in managing NASA’s Mission Control at the Johnson Space Center in Houston. From leading teams flying NASA’s human spaceflight missions to managing the complex enterprise of facilities, rocket scientists, and leaders, these high performance teams are not taken for granted but are very deliberately built, developed, and led, starting with these same techniques. Developing High Performance Teams provides practical guidelines for assessing your team’s effectiveness, identifying opportunities for improvement and systematically developing Action Plans that will lead to significantly increased team performance. This book provides a detailed Strategic Planning and Team Building process to guide you through the steps for Developing a High Performance Team, now supercharged with the rocket fuel of the team building strategies of Mission Control.
