Change Leadership Alignment Process Step 4: Develop a High Performing Team

Updated: Aug 12

Change waits for no leader, and the skills required for leading day-to-day operations are very different to change leadership. The strategic change leadership alignment process develops change leadership capability so the organisation’s leaders are aligned, as a high-performing team, with change leadership skills and knowledge to successfully lead your organisation’s change, transformation, or improvement to accelerate employee change adoption and deliver sustainable long-term benefits.


Step 4. Develop a High Performing Team:

A high-performing, well-integrated team is a key requirement for implementing organisational change. Unfortunately, not all teams are high-performing; however, they usually don't realise it and spend little on the concept. Developing a high-performing team entails some effort; an assessment of the team and individuals are required to identify the gaps, and then improvements need to be implemented to close the gaps. High-performing teams tend to be more productive and committed, and as a result, they are better positioned to lead change. There are five areas that are key to productive team dynamics: Traits, Conflict, Commitment, Accountability, and Results.

The change question set all leaders should be able to answer:

"Do you understand the organisation's change history? Do you have a change vision? Are you aligned with your strategic objectives? Are you a high-performing team? Does your team have the change leadership capability to successfully lead the change or improvement that your organisation is facing?"

Corporate thinking about change management has evolved in recent years, and it is considered a core competence by some leading organisations. Varying degrees of change capability, low employee adoption, a lack of sustainability, and low benefits realisation have become the drivers for developing corporate change capability. Change capability starts with the top leadership team; they understand previous change history and the barriers to success, so they align strategically as a high-performing team and then develop the skills and knowledge to successfully deliver future organisational change.


"If more employees were better leaders of change, the organisational benefits would be endless"
