Organization Reshuffle and Micro-Game.

Vision: To bring out the drastic impact to people with insecurities in leadership positions.

Mission: To align the focus of the objective by not being subjective.

Change is the only aspect of life that is constant. With that being said; what is the framework that an organization should provide to befit the platform for change?

Here lies the Kryptonite.

Change can be attributed to different reasons; enhancing the organizational portfolios, workforce optimizations, leadership initiatives, etc.,. They key is that for all changes made to an organization's structure, one thing should be constant: Making sure the workforce is not affected ( or as little as possible) in view of their & the companies deliverables to the respective clients & themselves.

So, what do we do?

Engagement is key. Maintaining Confidence is foremost. Last but not least, ensuring Trust is enhanced/maintained, as it is the foundation for any successful partnership/relationship.

Engagement is Key:

You never get a second chance to make a first impression. So, always "meet" your team, first! Manner of Engaging anybody, should always be a primary focus item. It will dictate a few key outcomes: value of the engagement, respect between the parties involved & continued eagerness to contribute to the goal thereby working together.

So then, what is the next question: What is the Goal?

Anyone that leads/manages a team should have a clearly defined Mission Statement & Vision Statement. This will align the members of your team to the common objective. Let's dive into them in detail at another time.

As far as engagement is concerned, it is important that in the case of merged teams, equality should be the primary focus item for the leader. With that as the steering, always be objective to the mission and never subjective to your intentions .

Maintaining Confidence is foremost.

Value for individuals and their contributions (past & current) is of the utmost importance. So it begs the question; How does one whom takes over an aspect of an organization; maintain confidence with the people that were previously aligned in terms of being managed by someone else?

Enable transparency.

Get to know your new members; their past and their current achievements.

Setup a merged environment (merger in a merger) to enable the team members to interact and establish positive working relationships.

DO NOT MICRO-MANAGE !

We will dive into further details in future articles.

Trust is the foundation for any successful partnership.

What is trust? : Firm belief in the reliability, truth, or ability of someone or something, by definition.

How is it built?

Leaders/Managers,

Be true to your cause & yourselves. As without integrity to your cause; the only people that suffer; is your team. A couple of key mannerisms that would aid in building trust:

• Assignment of your Leads. (Succession Plan)
• Set clear expectations of them, uniformly. (Adherence to Goals)
• Allow them to create a platform for themselves so that they build trust with each other. (Self-Managed Environment is the Best Managed Environment).
• Cross merge the teams assigned to your Leads.(Throw a Pigeon amongst the Hens. But the key here is to monitor & manage the confusion created.)

I can't wait to engage with the readers with the expanded versions of the 3 sections in the this article.

Until then, Happy Reading & Always Be True to You.
