Force Multipliers

Teams are made up of people with talents, skills, and capabilities. Some of these characteristics overlap but they also have varied distribution, meaning individuals possesses variances and that is a very good thing.

Each person is a human toolbox equipped to perform certain tasks, duties, or roles. Also, each person on a team is a contribution multiplier. Every member of a team is a human with unique emotions, perceptions, aspirations, with varied paths to contribution.

Teams full of diverse and capable talent do not need leaders who supervise or give direction and then inspect like a factory floor supervisor. They do need great leaders of teams who are force multipliers. These types of leaders understand how to effectively work toward enabling, equipping, and creating a performant system of people. Through clarity of vision, orientation, strategic plans, and execution they setup performance levers and amplifiers for the people they lead.

Performance oriented teams respond best to leaders who understand how to balance work targets, skills, people, and approaches with a combination of working EQ, people intelligence, and soft skills deployed to communicate with impact. They find ways that amplify team member contribution, generate imagination, and tap into potential delivering the right innovations and change.
