Abstract:

This paper briefly reviews the history of the Integrated Weapon System Management philosophy and teams in Air Force Materiel Command. It then examines some of the history and rational for developing team focused rewards to shape team performance. From this, a two dimensional model Is proposed. The model is a framework the team leader can use for making an integrated set of reward decisions. Then, an extensive list of reward options with actual examples for the team leader is provided. The list is aimed at team leaders in AFMC but it is applicable to most organizations, particularly those operating in the government environment. The paper closes with some reward recommendations for creating and encouraging high performing teams. Included are several appendices that list specffic rewards available for the AFMC team leader. Many of the rewards are also available to any government team leader.
