¶ … High Performance in a Learning Organization

Every business must have a specific, routine way, through which it conducts its daily operations. Often times, the people at the head of the organization must take into account various personalities, modalities of work, etc. In order to ensure that the organization both functions smoothly and attains its goals. Often as well, routine operations must be rethought in order to be recreated in a more creative, more productive way. In order to attain all these elements successfully, heads of enterprises must be thorough and organized and must be part of a fantastic team, as well as recognize various elements that can enable them to be as such, as well as enable them to lead a better performing organization with smoother processes of work. This paper will elaborate on the subject, and will focus specifically on the elements of high performance in teams and in learning organizations.

Definitions and Elements Comprised

Teams

This section will present the elements that make up high performance teams and high performance organizations, as described through academic papers and studies. High performance teams must be, first and foremost, able to function in a high pressure, high stress environment.

Such teams must be able to focus on learning in the long-term and must not only think of short-term goals or successes. In other words, for the team to function, individuals must attain a sort of team culture, which must motivate them as greatly as end results.

Of course, this must also include great leadership potential, reflected through instruction.

There are, of course, ways in which teams can be created, motivated, controlled, and lead themselves to a successful outcome; all this goes back to its leader. Considerations mentioned above depend, furthermore, wholly on the leader present at the incipience of a said team. Lastly, it is the leader that can stress good habits and chastise bad ones, thus leading to a well-functioning, efficient team.

There are many websites that can further lead one to understanding these concepts, which deserve further expansion and study.

Organizations

The second part of this section must focus, certainly, on such potentially productive teams' influences, as described above, upon the high productivity of learning organizations. The elements that characterize such productivity thus often rest on the team, but can depend on a number of other elements as well. These include, in addition to efficient teamwork, individual characteristics such as great communication inter and intra-teams, trust of oneself and others, respect, etc.

and perhaps the slogan "governed by purpose and powered by people."
