CEO Climb Webinar | Simon Hartley - World Class Teams Simon Hartley What really makes a world-class team? For the first ten years of his career, Simon Hartley worked purely with athletes and sports teams as a psychology consultant and performance coach. Over the course of that ten year period, his work sparked a curiosity in him. “I wanted to know how the best in the world performed – world-class human beings and teams from any domain, any walk of life”, he explains. In his recent Vistage webinar, Simon shared some of his discoveries. “Over the years I’ve found a number of common denominators in world-class teams, from Michelin-starred chef teams to surgical teams, yacht crews and polar expedition teams”, he says. “My simple theory is that if you find common denominators in all of those, they’ll probably be things that any team can adopt”. The 3 characteristics of world-class teams “Teams like SAS units and polar expedition crews have to become brilliant at navigating uncertainty”, says Simon. “They simply don’t know what’s going to be around the next corner. And teams like this have three key characteristics in abundance”. Those three characteristics are alignment, empowerment and engagement.
