Some would like to believe that learning can be done alone, in a tower, with a laptop. But in fact, until we interact with other people or systems, all we’ve done is absorb, we haven’t yet understood (Seth Godin)

There is a proposal for our global goal for 2024 to be focused on ‘Building High Performance Teams’.

I really like this one as it sounds like it's people focused rather than systems and policies based. Time will tell.

Often the problem with a profusion of extensively detailed policies and systems is that it becomes increasingly more difficult to comply. The potential danger is that the human factor frustrates administrators and then, thanks to the complexity, the propensity for human error becomes a stick to beat people with.

But building high performance teams is, on the surface, a win win. It's positive, it focuses on teams, and it focuses on the local rather than the global, therefore it gets more buy in.

I'm keen to see the detail - such as which strategies may be suggested to do this building, and who the teams are.
