%X We examine the concept of team performance and propose a framework to understand patterns of change over time. Following a literature review on team performance (focusing on empirical articles published between 2007 and 2017) and drawing on Greek and Roman mythology, we identify five team performance trajectories: ˇ°Jupiterˇ± (consistently high performing), ˇ°Neptuneˇ± (relatively steady, average performance), ˇ°Plutoˇ± (low performing), ˇ°Icarusˇ± (initially high performing, with a downward spiral), and ˇ°Odysseusˇ± (initially low to midrange performing, with an upward spiral), which we refer to as ˇ°team performance archetypes.ˇ± We discuss how they might be used in conjunction with growth modeling methodology to help facilitate theory building and data collection/analysis with respect to team performance. In addition, we discuss the future research implications associated with using the archetypes to help conceptualize patterns of team performance over time
