Document Summary
Situation and answer = 1 to 2 pages max. Like it or not, working in and managing/leading projects, teams and groups is becoming more prevalent. Move toward occupationally organized workforce (away from industry organized workforce: workers focus on what they do as an occupation, not drawn as a company, career paths are defined as occupation, able to translate to different companies. Calls for end to working from home. Traditionally managed: leader resides outside the team, low autonomy. Self-managed: the team managed itself but still has a team leader, low, medium or high autonomy. Self-directed: the team makes all decisions internally about leadership and how work is done, high autonomy. Teams where members are not located in the same physical place. Challenges: building trust is difficult, low engagement + conflict avoidance low performance. Three types of interdependence: task, goal, outcome. Framing and sense making are important and useful activities for setting objectives.
