Attributes and characteristics of high-performing teams are essential to achieve outstanding results for customers. The Three E framework is an effective way to measure a team's effectiveness, efficiency, and engagement. By balancing and managing these three elements, teams can sustainably and indefinitely deliver exceptional results.

The key to unlocking your team's full potential? Balancing the 3 Es - Effectiveness, Efficiency, and Engagement. While many organizations focus solely on efficiency, measuring and optimizing for results, this approach can lead to limited long-term value. By inspecting and balancing the 3 Es, leaders can enable cross-functional teams to achieve their full potential indefinitely. Don't limit your team's success - prioritize effectiveness and engagement alongside efficiency.

As a leader, creating a culture of effectiveness, efficiency, and engagement is key to building a high-performing team. The secret lies in measuring, sharing, and continuously improving your 3E metrics. Remember, you get what you measure.

In order to sustainably achieve results, improve efficiency, and grow team members, it's essential to balance all three Es. What are the Three Es? Effectiveness, Efficiency and Engagement. Effectiveness means results. Teams that are effective consistently achieve their outcomes and objectives. Efficiency means continuous improvement. Teams that are efficient are relentless about improving their work product AND the way they work together. Engaged means aligned and people focused. Teams who are engaged have team members who feel valued, are curious and continuously learning more about their customer, their work and each other. By understanding, measuring and sharing all three Es, leaders and teams can achieve sustainable success and growth. So, take a step back and evaluate how your team is balancing the Three...

High performing teams are not just about getting results, they're also about investing in themselves. Learning about each other, their customers/users, and the work that everyone does to bring shared success. Measuring results and efficiency is easy. Measuring the team's engagement is harder, but oh-so worth it. Balancing the Three Es - Engagement, Efficiency, and Effectiveness - is key to achieving high performance. Remember, you get what you measure, so measure the Three Es and help your teams be high performing!
