    HIGH PERFORMANCE is almost always a collective endeavour, which means the quality of interactions between people, is as important as the performance of individuals. We all talk about the importance of teamwork; we all spend a lot of time working as part of teams; and yet genuine high performing behaviour in teams is quite rare. For many restaurants and bars, it is one of the most untapped opportunities for improvement.
    Productive teamwork is built on three critical ingredients:
    1. Clarity on where teamwork can add value & make a difference to performance.
    2. A set of behaviours and ways of interacting that gets the best out of everyone.
    3. Effective meetings that provide the opportunity to do this collective work. Most teams can rapidly improve their productivity and performance by investing a little time in building and strengthening these foundations, and then reviewing their progress on a regular basis
