The effective performance management for a team is predicated upon the following thee principles : Determining team behaviours. In most methodologies of team building there are some methods to establish a team-work, but these methods usually describes what an individual member should do within the team, but not what all the team members should do collectively. It means that while all the members in the team can behave in trustworthy manner, this does not ensure that the team will build trust together, because this also depends on other factors, such as working environment or processes the team use for communicating, making decisions, rewarding, etc. Each successful team has specific behaviours that vary. It means that the profile of behaviours that makes a construction team successful can be quite different from another profile that makes an advertising campaign team successful. Behaviours vary from team to team. Team behaviour profile can be altered by using team performance management. Performance management for a team involves definition of behavioural goals and measurement of current behaviours in order to detect the gap between the current and desired profile of the team behaviours, and then to plan, implement and track changes with purpose to close that gap. There are significant similarities between performance management for individuals and team.

To achive these principles, the methodology of team performance supposes some actions the managers and the staff should do. First of all, the managers establishes behavioural goals and develop *"questionnaire for an ideal team profile*".
