The most critical elements of team management

First, share two The story The facts .

A The team , Just started working in agile coaching , Most members have little experience in this field , But the enthusiasm is high , Through the performance on the master , Team members have a strong interest in this aspect , Specific performance: , Without being forced , Spontaneous learning . Almost everyone has the same idea ：“ Rely on your own knowledge to help other teams grow ”, Please note that , This idea is not given by the leadership . At this point they have a common goal , At the same time, this goal is close to their work , Make them better cooperate in their work , Promote yourself spontaneously without working . Tell me a little story , When they coach the first team , Even people don't know Scrum What's in it , With the introduction of the team leader , Team members divide the work and disassemble several ceremonies , Everyone has a ceremony , Check information , Internal simulation exercise , Go to the customer's site and sell it now , The team atmosphere is good . besides , The team also uses some of the same non work related activities , For example, flat brace , Squat against the wall, etc , Organize this activity spontaneously every afternoon , The process is stronger than the result .

It is a pity , After half a year , Work content changes , No longer aligned with team members' goals , People are forced to do things they don't want to do , gradual , The team broke up .

B The team , The same agile coaching team , Each member thinks differently , There is no unified vision for work , Follow the leader's instructions , The so-called iteration goal , Is to lead oneself to take a . The result is that team members don't have their own plans , What to do in three months , I do not know! , Listen to the leader's arrangement . Even the proportion of time spent on non value-added activities per week is particularly high , I don't worry about , Because everything is arranged by the leader , The leader did not say there was a problem , That's not the problem . I have no idea of reform in my heart .

One of the pillars of lean thinking is people , Respect team members , Let it have autonomy .《 Speed up 》 One aspect of culture mentioned in is , Team members have certain decision-making power within their own scope . Both of them talk about people , But there is no mention of the unity of individual goals and team goals , Be careful , Here we say unity rather than combination . Personal feeling , This is more important than the decision-making power of the two theories of appeal .

Conclusion ： From a personal point of view , job-hunting , Find a job that matches your goals / The team ; From a team perspective , Recruit members to find members who are in line with your goals ; From the coach's point of view , To find targets that have members , And try to influence , Match it to your team's goals .
