The Attentional Focus model predicts how time pressure affects team performance. This model suggests:

teams focus on the relationships that leaders develop with particular subordinates and what time pressure leaders place on these subordinates.

time pressure narrows group members' attention to the most prominent or conspicuous needs of completing of a task and filter out what they judge to be less important information.

teams focus on three different approaches when managing conflict and time pressure.

teams whose members work together for longer periods are more likely to develop a team memory system and be less affected by time pressure.
