A bunch of ordinary people, delivering an extraordinary performance is termed as a high performing team. Creating a high performing team though, seems like a mammoth task – perhaps because such teams are very few and far between.
While there is no single silver bullet to construct such a team, one big measure that builds such synergy in a team is a culture of “No Surprises”. So, how do we create such a No-Surprises culture in an organization?

performance is termed as a high performing team. Creating
a high performing team though, seems like a mammoth
task – perhaps because such teams are very few and far
between. We have to create No- Surprise culture in an
organization
A no-surprises culture is closely linked to open
communication between its members. This implies:
• Being 100% honest, at the same time being 100%
respectable.
• Problems and confusions faced are openly discussed.
• Feedback is sought and given freely, without fear or favor.
3. A culture of no surprises is sparked when the team members
become aware of each other’s responsibilities and they learn
to respect them also. When we understand each other’s roles
we become more aware of the impact of each person on the
whole system.
1.Acknowledgement and Respect
for each other :
4. Information or messages are an integral part of any team,
and for information to flow so that there is no place for
hidden information, incorrect outcomes and disengaged
team, it is important that team members and managers are
available.
Being available helps in fostering a culture wherein all team
members can, not only communicate but can communicate
openly and honestly.
2. Availability:
5. Free flow and open communication helps in building a
culture of sharing ideas without any hesitation of it being a
strange or silly idea.
Every idea whether good or bad should be appreciated
because the intent behind suggesting those ideas was to help
the team or the team member.

4. Responsiveness:
7. In a performing team asking for help is not considered as a
sign of weakness. In fact asking for help or offering help is
considered as a tool to enhance trust within the team
members. This attitude helps teams in being committed to
the ultimate goal. By helping each other we tend to
understand each other responsibilities and the challenges
faced. By asking help we in turn show respect and trust that
each one has on the other team member.
5. Offer help, ask for help :
