Team Building — Decisive Coordinated Action
Information on Decisive Coordinated Action
"Decisive Coordinated Action" is one of the nine dimensions of the high-performance
team wheel.
In High-Performance Teams, team members are skilled at coming
to closure, that is, moving efficiently from problem-solving and decision-making
to practical action. They use tools and effective processes to
coordinate agreed upon actions. Everyone knows what he or she
is supposed to be doing and how it fits with
what others are doing.
A team capable of decisive, coordinated
action is a team that possesses and uses skills and
tools to coordinate and track work. Everyone knows what is
required, by whom, when, and how. Work activity is highly
visible. There is little time wasted moving from talk to
action.In teams where decisive, coordinated action is lacking, you’ll see
people talking about what needs to be done, but not
making specific requests and assignments, or you’ll see decisions made
that are not followed through. You may see some frustration
because expectations are not being met. You’ll also see team
members not informing one another of their plans and actions
(runaway drivers).
