- When I finished my research on what creates high performing teams, I realized that we needed a new model that brought together all the critical elements especially the new insights revealed by neuroscience. Many aspects of our biology are designed to help us work well in groups. Achieving what scientists call neural synchrony, which is a hallmark of peak performance. However, we can only get there when certain conditions are met. They're like gates, something you have to get through in order to get to the next level of performance. My model is called the Four Gates to Peak Team Performance. It distinguishes between different levels of performance, articulating what separates a medium performing team from one that excels. It also clearly shows why you cannot get to the highest level of peak performance without certain things in place. The four gates are safety, purpose, belonging and peak performance. Teams simply…
