Building High-Performance Teams

A Train-the-Trainer Immersive Workshop for High-Performing Leaders

Most leaders can describe a high-performing team—but far fewer can build one consistently. Across industries, capable teams still struggle with alignment, accountability, communication, and execution. Research shows the gap clearly. About 80% of leaders believe they build effective teams, yet only 20% actually do. The issue isn’t effort—it’s clarity and structure. 

High-performing teams don’t come from personality fit or team-building exercises alone. They require a clear framework that aligns leaders and teams on what matters most and addresses the drivers of performance. The Rocket Model provides that framework. 

Built on decades of research and data from thousands of teams, the Rocket Model focuses on eight drivers of team effectiveness: Context, Mission, Talent, Norms, Buy-In, Resources, Courage, and Results. It gives leaders a straightforward way to build, assess, and improve team performance. 

This approach is practical and work-focused. It improves how teams operate, make decisions, and deliver results—not just how they interact. It creates a shared language to quickly identify gaps and take action. 

Through UC Merced Division of Professional & Continuing Education, we partner with organizations and companies to apply this framework and drive measurable improvement. 

What You Will Learn: 
  • Assess and improve intact team effectiveness 
  • Identify gaps across key performance drivers 
  • Facilitate focused working sessions
