Developing High Functioning
Teams
If a manager cannot
develop and maintain a team that can make and fulfill promises to the
rest of the organization, that manager will lose the identity of being
effective. If the manager does not take care of the concerns of his/her
people, doesn't institute the conversations and practices of a team, doesn't
become an effective leader or support effective leaders, then that manager
will produce breakdowns in producing action and fulfilling commitments.
Many team leaders
make commitments for their teams without having assessed their capacity
to fulfill on their promises, leading to breakdowns and lowered morale.
To keep commitments alive and see them through to completion is competence
in projects. We claim that we build projects as the actions designed to
fulfill promises.
Two basic courses
support the manager developing highly effective teams. They are as follows:
1. The Committed
Communication system provides a foundation for basic managing and
allows the manager to become proficient with the (2.) Core Competencies
of management which are as follows:
- People: Taking
care of the concerns of individuals and the team
- Teams: Instituting
the conversations and practices of teams
- Planning/Decision
Making
- Managing Projects
- Leadership: Effectively
setting direction; opening pathways for success
These five competencies
are distinguished as core competencies because we have found that
a serious incompetence in any one of them will eventually lead to a disintegration
of the capacity to produce a team that makes and fulfills promises.
