I was asked a very interesting question today, \u2018what is your management style?\u2019<\/p>\n
While I could go the leadership route, there is something else also equally valuable..<\/p>\n
Each person is knowingly (or unknowingly) working towards some goal.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s like every object on earth is absorbing and exerting energy in some shape or form.<\/p>\n
So when we say a team is not effective, it\u2019s not the \u2018absence\u2019 of energy,<\/p>\n
It\u2019s more about energies being dispersed in different directions instead of one direction!<\/p>\n
Just like the difference between an \u2018unmagnetized\u2019 object and a \u2018magentized\u2019 object (or a magnet)<\/p>\n
When not magnetized, the atoms are not exerting force in the same direction giving a net effect of zero.<\/p>\n
When the object is \u2018magnetized\u2019, as per \u2018domain theory\u2019 all atoms exert force in one specific direction, creating the desired net effect of pulling objects.<\/p>\n
Bottom line, \u2018align the energies\u2019 of the team members to get the desired results.<\/p>\n
The goals should be clear and they should have stake in achieving the goals.<\/p>\n
I know it\u2019s easier said than done, but IMHO ultimately will pay off many times more.<\/p>\n
