A New Manager ……….

July 12th, 2010

I was having a conversation with a friend of mine yesterday who was telling me about a new Manager within their organisation. Following a re-structure this person has been appointed to the newly created role of Area Manager and is responsible for 2 or 3 teams spread across a geographical area.

The story continued in that the new Area Manager has now been in position for approximately 5 weeks and to date there has been no contact with their new team(s) either individually or collectively. It appears that the only way to get to meet with the new manager is to phone them direct and ask for an appointment in their diary.

Characteristics of Ineffective Teams

July 8th, 2010

Ineffective teamsFollowing on from my previous posting about Successful Teams, I got to thinking about teams that are not so successful. Luckily for me I have not worked in any that I would call truly ineffective teams but I have worked in one or two that could be described as dysfunctional on occasion!

 

Anyway it got me thinking about what particular Characteristics you would be likely to see in an Ineffective Team. I came up with the following;

Here are some ideas that I came up with;
