The productive output of the team (i.e., its product, service, or decision) meets or exceeds the standards of quantity, quality, and timeliness of the team’s clients—the people who receive, review, and/or use the output.
A. High-quality task performance
Hackman, 2002

1. Create team psychological safety
A shared belief that the team is safe for interpersonal risk taking: members will not be embarrased, rejected or punished: for stating their opinions, views and ideas openly for disagreeing and being critical for asking questions, showing vulnerability and
uncertainty, admitting mistakes and asking for help
Edmondson, 2019

2. Create team cohesion and team spirit
The strengths of the bonds linking members to one another, to the team, and to the team goals.
• Interpersonal attraction

task and goals

Four ingredients in effective team meetings
A. Clarify the goal of bringing up each agenda item
B. Stick to the topic and discuss according to goals set for each item
C. Challenge viewpoints and engage in a healthy exchange of ideas
D. State your own views openly, curiously explore and listen to the opinions of others, and try to build upon each others’ views
![Page 21: What characterizes effective teams? - landlaeknir.is · What characterizes effective teams? (and particularly problem solving and decision making teams) A reseach-based framework](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051922/600f7c8f7f424b4a0a148084/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
37
Clarify the goal of bringing up each agenda item
(Bang, Fuglesang, Ovesen & Eilertsen, 2010
State clearly what you want out of the discussion and what you want the meeting to focus on: - what do you want to ”produce” in the meeting ? - what is the problem or questions you want to discuss? - why do you bring this issue to the team? …and ask for clarification when the goal is unclear to you

Two different forms of discussions
(Bang, 2009)
Derailed Adequate focus
![Page 26: What characterizes effective teams? - landlaeknir.is · What characterizes effective teams? (and particularly problem solving and decision making teams) A reseach-based framework](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051922/600f7c8f7f424b4a0a148084/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)

Horizontal and vertical digressions
Bang, 2009
Digressions, comments off-track
Too general, abstract, short
Too detailed, specific, long-winded
