Training Recipe - Team work

Team Work

Authority- Biased: Now days organisation are plagued with Authority-Biased  team work. In such team upper strata of work force creates unusual work pressure on their juniors.

Such a phenomenon leads to unequal distribution of work. To many employees work means bearing burden of their seniors colleagues. Fig(A) depicts how person of high authority sits on the talent and aspiration of his juniors.

Frustration and stress due to work pressure leads to high attrition. Authority- biased in upper strata of workforce creates divide in the organisation.

Favouritism and lack of transparency are most nurtured parasites of such team work.

Authority- Unbiased: Here the captain of the event participate with fellow members. Apart from doing their designated job, the upper strata of work force involves themselves with ground workforce. With high intuition and rich proactive behaviour they earn respect rather than commanding respect. Authority-Unbiased is framework of winning teams. 

A conflict in team Fig(C)

Team Conflict: Growth declines when team develops cracks. Most of the friction happens due to egocentric behaviour of employees. Attitudinal issues in employees, cultivate behaviour imbalances that further negate any positive development.

Fig(C) depicts how constructive work in an
organisation is nullified with negative or destructive workforce. In such a situation although lot of work is visible but no growth is attained.

Ref Fig(C) how could a car  move forward if team is not unified in principle. A union in an organisation goes on strike due to friction of behaviour or processes. 

Pin pricking some one else inflated balloon filled with ego is never been a good idea. Instead prick your own balloon.

Stagnant Growth: Think if all managers in organisation start competing to show their supremacy over others. In doing so the processes are ripped apart and individualism arises. Instead anyone who tries to bind people together to achieve one goal is no other than true leader. For all leaders this is worth emulating.

Reflection: The successful leaders  have knack of identifying their blind spots. They are always open to feedback and criticism. 

Keeping calm always leads to good decision making. A man in Fig(D) is in fact reflecting before going to sleep. This practice prepare him to stay mindful and stable for next day.

His work life balance also improves with practice. During regular introspection at the end of the day, a man develops habit to identifying and correcting his blind spots.  He see himself as more proactive and responsive than ever.

Under the guidance of an expert if a team member start using Reflection as a tool for growth. His blind spots starts becoming his strength spots and he starts transforming.

We all have blind spots and realising them is the prerequisite stage for correction. Unfortunately culture of blaming others prevails in most societies. If leaders cultivate this habit of reflection they can kill almost all of their personal and professional
blind spots. They, thus becomes the path breaker for their team
members. Self correction helps correcting others.
