Performance driven team is a group that is goal oriented, qualified, use open communication, and have built rapport amongst the team. This type of team is effective when completing tasks due to the team work they have, and are able to adjust and adapt to certain situations. “A “high-performance work team” refers to a group of goal-focused individuals with specialized expertise and complementary skills who collaborate, innovate and produce consistently superior results” (SHRM, nd).
There are two types of motivation such as intrinsic and extrinsic. Extrinsic motivation is when an individual is motivated to perform a task due to a reward after completion and intrinsic motivation is when an individual completes the task for own personal sake and accomplishment. These are both important, because it allows the leader to have an understanding of the individuals type of motivation, regardless of the motivation status, the tasks will be completed. “Understanding how each type of motivation works and when it is likely to be useful can help people perform tasks (even when they do not want to) and improve their learning” (Cherry, 2022).

Hi Breanna!
Thank you so much for your post. I enjoyed reading it and you shared some great information. I feel that intrinsic motivation is the type of motivation that drives me the most. I always love doing things and getting things done and feeling accomplished once the task is done. An article that I read talked about how intrinsic motivation has different types which include challenge, curiosity, enjoyment, and purpose to name a few. (Nickerson, 2021) I am motivated by extrinsic motivation as well. According to M Ndambo, without the presence of extrinsic motivation, then all motivation could reduce. They also share that if there are feelings of tension and pressure, then this would be from extrinsic motivation and can actually help complete tasks on time. (Nadmbo, 2022).

Hi,
Did you know that a good servant leader can use Maslow’s hierarchy of needs to promote staff happiness? A leader that creates a sense of belongingness promotes peer acceptance and the value of work (Thomas, 2018). They can do this by promoting positive working relationships, making connections and taking interest in staff hobbies, and fostering guidance (Thomas, 2018). The nurse leader can also provide staff recognition and bring value to their work (Thomas, 2018). Creating a sense of belongingness is important in the workplace.

Hi Breanna,
Thanks for your post. I read that motivation can be both intrinsic and extrinsic at the same time, for instance, a nurse who goes back to further her education may do so in order to gain a better nursing position for better income which results in extrinsic motivation. Conversely, the same nurse could also love learning and increasing her nursing knowledge to better herself to be able to deliver quality nursing care to her patients leading to intrinsic motivation. (LaFerney, 2018). These leaves a healthy balance that is needed between extrinsic and intrinsic motivation.

Performance-driven teams refers to teams with members who have specialized qualifications, balancing skills, goal-oriented drives, and utmost focus on attaining the goals of the team (Akhtar et al., 2019). Achieving a performance-driven team is not as complicated but as well is not an easy task. The kind of skills required to attain such kind of a team include having high performance management skills, the ability to empower team members to work together as a team, strong innovation skills, and the capacity to motivate team players to deliver top notch results. Notably, the process of building a performance-driven team takes more than the act of merely bringing together a team of excellently skilled individuals. It is a process that demands the nurturing and development of specific behaviors, practices, and characteristics.
The chief characteristics of high-performance teams include the possession of clear goals, comprehension of the way their job merges the mission of the particular organization, defined responsibilities, proper delegation of roles, clear and respectful communications, meeting of deadlines, organized workflow, respect and trust between team members, and the exercise of continuous learning (Lynch & West, 2017). Intrinsic motivation refers to the kind of motivation that comes from within whereas the extrinsic motivation is the type of a motivation that comes out of external factors. When an individual is motivated by intrinsic factors, they tend to take part in
activities just out of getting enjoyment and personal fulfilment from it. On the other hand, extrinsic motivation drives one to take part in something due to the need to achieve external rewards from it. When it comes to team performance, it is important to know the kind of motivation since this is the ultimate key to achieving the success of the organization.
