When making a team to efficiently get a project done you need four key players:
The Leader
The Brain
The Anchor
The Soldier
The Leader see the big picture and come up with new ideas. The Brain creates a strategies to put the Leader's ideas into action. The Anchor looks for problems and plays devil's advocate when new ideas are brought up. Finally, the Soldier executes the plan.
The next time you need to create a team consider these four components. Do your teams now have these key players?
Sounds like the soldier gets screwed in all of this - no say in the plan, but they have to execute it.
ReplyDeleteThis idea makes it seem that each person in a group only has one role, even though everyone has multiple things they can offer. I dislike being in groups where each person is assigned one task and that is the only thing they get to do. With this method, projects seem to come out incomplete. Instead, everyone should be involved with the brainstorming, problem solving, and execution of the project.
