As a business owner or manager you probably have a number of
people working under you and those people likely work in some sort of team. There are inherently interpersonal dynamics at
play. Your team isn’t that unlike any professional sports team. There will be
leaders, there will be the quite dependable ones, rookies and veterans and
there may be a couple you`d put on your “trading block” or choose not to resign
for next season but the real world isn’t like the sports world and you may be
in a position that has you trying to keep everyone moving forward. The point I’m making is there are different
strengths and weaknesses amongst your employees, people who will step up and
lead the group, others who you know you can count on for quality results and
those that may need more guidance to perform their jobs. The manager (YOU) need to focus your
attention on creating the right work groups and teams to get the best results.
If you’re seeing some groups at your workplace struggle while others succeed
you may need to consider mixing up your “lines”. Maybe putting your easily
distracted employee with a couple quite dependable employees could help focus
his or her attention to achieve the right results or maybe a key leader among
your employees might be best suited to work with one of your more inexperienced
individuals to coach him along, provide the guidance needed and step in when
mistakes are made. Team chemistry and the way people interact and play off each
other can mean the difference between a championship squad and one that misses
the playoffs. Which will yours be? Put on the coach’s hat and see what you can
achieve by trying to understand the people in your workplace and who they
perform best with.
