The same factors are also playing to his position in the team. However a CEO who is committed to building high performance teams, will spend some time thinking about how to obtain the composition of the teams from the right. Each team member must be selected on the basis of his talent regardless of his position and pay. The key to building a high performance team is decide what contributions of the team as a whole, and individual members can contribute to meet the aspirations of corporate performance.The team has to agree on the cause of the current problem, with individuals contributing effectively address the various aspects related to the problem.
