The
most productive, high performing teams are made up of a mix of different
personality and working types. The ideal mix includes some who are better at
strategy and big idea thinking and others who excel at flawless implementation.
For those who study situational leadership, this is how it works:
You
need some on the team who are innovative, make decisions quickly, prefer action
to debate, believe in the possible, take risks, and are future-oriented. These
are the people who keep the team moving forward. But they are also the team
members who, in their eagerness to try out new ideas, do not plan adequately
and are likely to make mistakes.
That is why you have the other members of the
team who are accurate, thorough, deliberate and careful as they work. They
balance their speedy, action-oriented co-workers with their slower pace. They
can analyze the pros and cons of their counterparts’ plans and make wise
choices as to which plans are most likely to succeed.
Then
play to people’s strengths.
