As a team member and manager, we can't help but ask "what kind of manager does our team need?" To answer this question, we need to figure out what the goal of the team is, what is the current situation of the team, and what kind of manager do we need as a manager? How's it going.
1. What is the goal of the team?
The goal of the team is the basis for the existence of the team. Different goals determine the expected results of team development, and also specify what kind of organizational structure, human resources, management systems, etc. the team needs.
What is our goal? Are the team's goals clear? Do you have short-term, medium-term, and long-term goal plans? Do you have clear goals as a manager? Is this goal known and agreed upon by team members?
Where do goals come from? Is the goal setting derived from rigorous thinking and analysis? Does the team goal come from the manager's own judgment or the distribution of the superior? Does the team manager understand the meaning, context, risks and feasibility of achieving the goals?
2. What is the status of our team?
What are we going to do to achieve our goals? Can the current team meet the goals on time?
Does our organizational structure meet the requirements of this goal? How does the organizational structure need to be adjusted and responsibilities defined?
Are our workflows meeting this goal? Which nodes need to be improved?
Can our management system guarantee the needs of target implementation? What loopholes and deficiencies still exist?
Are the competencies of our team members at the level required for this goal? How many team members are there? What are the responsibilities? What are your personal characteristics and abilities? What other improvements are needed? Can members grow during team development?
What will our team do? Not just what can our team do?
3. What kind of managers do we want to work with?
What kind of managers can convince me?
Am I fit for the role of manager?
Can I do better than current managers?
What can I learn from managers?
Have I done the work within my own responsibilities?
4. What can we bring to the team as managers?
What role can I bring to the team?
Can I guide the direction the team is going?
Can convincing decisions be made at critical moments? Do you have the awareness and courage to face failure and take responsibility?
Do I know my team members? Does everyone agree with the team's goals?
Can you safely hand over tasks to members?
Did the work result meet your expectations? Where can we help them?
Team work is like marching and fighting, and team managers are like commanders. They need to fully grasp all aspects of information, analyze meticulously, make quick decisions, and know the enemy and themselves to win a hundred battles.
A general who does not understand astronomy, geography, yin and yang, wonders, does not observe formations, does not control military forces, is mediocre.
