Decision Making
Leadership Skills – Decision Making Tools
“You cannot make progress without making decisions.” - Jim Rohn
Think about times when you have been involved in implementing a new decision involving a process, procedure, or change initiative. Individuals and teams make business decisions every day, but how do you know when you've made the right choice? What are your best practices for overcoming the resistance you have met as you implement a business decision? Many managers view decision making as an event. Decision-making is, in fact, a process. Managers who recognize decision making as a process increase their likelihood of making more effective decisions. Decision-making is a systematic process of coping with matters of concern to you, your group, or your organization.
TechnoFunc brings to you tools and training on planning the implementation of decisions, managing the implementation, and evaluating the decision once it has been implemented.
Phases of Team Development
All the teams are dynamic in nature and they take time to come together, they form, develop, and grow in stages, over a period of time. Teams go through five progressive stages: Forming, Storming, Norming, Performing and Adjourning. In this article, we want to introduce you to these stages of team development and certain strategies that you can use to help the team grow and develop in each of these stages.
Storming Stage of Team Development
Storming is the second stage of team development and this stage is characterized by a bid for power and inter-personal conflicts. Learn the key factors that occur in the storming stage and the strategies that a team leader can adopt to pass this stage of high winds
Tools for Developing Your Team
If a manager has too many weak spots in the talent of the team, the ability to empower the team members to independently execute the project is impaired. Assignments fall behind schedule or stretch out because the needed skills or knowledge are not in place when needed. To successfully execute important projects, hiring talented people, and increasing the talents of existing staff are most important.
Reasons behind Wastage of Time
Under-utilization of time may be due to the faulty system or faults of manager/officer/leader or due to lack of planning. There could be many factors driving the procrastination behavior like system issues, personal work habits, and lack of delegation, personality traits, and bad working habits of the leader, failure to tackle interpersonal conflicts, obstacles, and lack of far-sightedness.
Building Perfect Creative Team
One misconception around creativity is that creative act is essentially solitary. Most of the world's important inventions resulted not from the work of one lone genius, but from collaboration of a team with complementary skills. Managers should build teams with the ideal mix of traits to form a creative group and then establish the conditions that make creativity much more likely to occur.
