👂 We often hear from team leads: “I have a clear ideas about where we have skills gap in my team and I would like to do more to support the professional development of my staff, but there is no time. And the available training solutions are too generic and not adapted to their needs".
In your team, you probably have different types of profiles. Let's start with a few common ones :
👩💻 #1 - The team members with clarity on the end goal…
…. But limited capacity to define how to get there
Clarity on the WHAT, not on the HOW
In brief: “The Dreamers” (as called by Nicholas Boothman in “Convince them in 90 seconds”) or "The Visionary"
👩🚒 #2 -The team members who knows how to make things happen, jumping from one activity to the next …
….without a clear idea on the contribution of these activities to the big picture
Clarity on the HOW, not on the WHAT
In brief: “The Doers”
The activity of #1 and #2 usually ends up in the implementation of scattered activities and a significant room for improvement on the ground of effectiveness.
🔥 #3. The team members that we wish to develop
A strategic vision combined with operational capacity
- Envision the end result
- Develop a break-down of sequential activities
- Implement with quality assurance and risk mitigation
- Learn from experience, adjust and improve until completion
To develop your team into a type-3 team, you do not need necessarily need new team members. You just need to bring 1 and 2 closer to 3 by building on their strengths and developing their skills in new areas.
