Five Finger Law: Creating Excellent Management Team

When we talk about team building, we will think of Belbin's team role theory. Sometimes we feel that people like Belbin, who are good at summarizing and refining, are really necessary for all walks of life.

Theory is also a classic.

However, sometimes it seems that some theories do not apply, because it depends on the realization and implementation of the individual.

The formation and management of a team is actually about human work, but the controllability of human work is very poor, and the subjective influence is too great. Therefore, no matter how classical the theory is, it is not perfect in practical application.

In fact, there is another "5 fingers team building" theory, which is specifically for today's team building, that is, using 5 fingers to represent a team's essential team role.

I don't know who put it forward, but it is obviously rather perfunctory and not perfect.

Therefore, according to my own experience, the author re expounds the "five finger theory" for your reference.

First,

Thumb is undoubtedly a leader's role in the role of the hand.

A team without leadership is like a hand without a thumb, and a team without excellent leadership is like losing a half hand as a thumb hurts.

So I have always stressed that leaders play an absolutely important role in the team. Just like Eisenhower said, a lion led sheep can defeat a lion led by a sheep.

Absolutely.

If a team wants to be good, it must have an excellent leader.

What is the role of a leader in a team?

The first is to define the goals and direction of the team; the second is coordination and control.

Coordination is the contradiction between players. Excellent teams always have different types of talents. Because of their differences and interdependence, they are bound to have contradictions. At this point, only leaders can play the role of coordinator, and the direction and working process of the team are controlled.

The third is decision making.

There are many ways of team decision making, and it is also a complex matter, but in any case, leadership is of absolute importance in team decision-making.

The fourth is to help identify the roles, responsibilities and boundaries of roles in the team.

Two. The index finger is the most powerful.

Executive ability is a very difficult topic. A leader is often an excellent strategist or an excellent tactician, but rarely a good executor.

This is because the division of labor between the two is different and their roles are different.

So in addition to having good leaders, we must have a kind of person who can effectively pform strategy and tactics into action.

The executive must have excellent organizational and practical experience and must have strong self-discipline because he must be a doer.

To give a more partial example, just like Yuen Wo Ping does martial arts guidance, he can design all kinds of whimsical movements, he can't do many of his actions, but Jet Li can always perfectly deduce his idea, so he can't change anyone else, so Jet Li is an excellent executor in this case.

Wantong's Feng Lun is a theorist, but there are always people in his business who can make his ideas happen because he has excellent executors.

If the idea is good, but it can not be done without thinking, it is a failure team.

This is a common phenomenon in many of our teams. Too many people would think that they would plan, but few could turn them into action.

The role of this role is the same as that of the doers: 1, turn conversation and suggestion into practical steps; 2, consider what is workable and what is impracticable; 3, make suggestions to match them with existing systems.

Three, middle finger -

"Erecting the middle finger" is a very impolite act. However, in teamwork, people always need such a person. When the team's plans and practices deviate from orbit, he can always be sober and sensible, and point out without mercy, and erect the middle finger for mistakes.

This does not mean that casual people are competent for this role. The role is very difficult. What is needed is a belief in their own judgement, a firm belief and principles, and a clear goal, even if he is only too cautious.

A team with such a role can avoid obvious mistakes to a large extent.

This role is equivalent to the supervisor in the bell theory.

Its role and role lie in:

1, analyze problems and scenarios, find and point out mistakes, omissions and neglected contents in the plan.

2, stimulate others to participate in activities, and to create a sense of urgency for team members.

3, evaluate others' judgement and function.

4, put forward new views on the action plan that has been formed.

Four. Ring finger - free man.

The ring finger is said to be connected to the left and right fingers, so it is more inflexible to have it alone. But if you cooperate with the two fingers, you will get too much effect.

So I think the ring finger should be the role of a free man, although I think the term "free man" does not seem right.

A team has a very free person to cooperate with others is more happy, because although he is independent to do things very difficult, but he can do anything, it can help, that can help, the key is that his cooperation will have the effect of 1+12.

There is a role of partner in role theory. Nameless correction is the representative of this role.

Five. Little thumbs - informer, diplomat

The little thumbs are the most outdoors, so the news is the best.

Team work always requires all kinds of information. It requires a macro vision and needs to be contacted or co operated with different external forces. In these activities, the role of information personnel and diplomats is essential.

The team requires that the role need to be quick thinking and initiative exploration, which requires extensive connections and strong sense of responsibility.

The role of this role is: 1 make recommendations and actively introduce external information for the team; 2, contact with individuals or groups who hold other views; 3 participate in consultations.

A good team is like the five fingers of a human being. The lack of one is incomplete, and of course, there is no surplus.

The most feared thing in the team is the involvement of the interests of the members. Once there is a conflict of interests, a lot of potential contradictions can be breeds. If not properly resolved, it will lead to unmanageable results.

Therefore, we must pay attention to the coordination of this problem in the process of team building.
