Good morning everyone 😊 I'm excited to be here with you today. | Sonu Goswami
Good morning everyone 😊 I'm excited to be here with you today. My name is Sonu Goswami, and on Wednesdays, I share insightful book reviews 📚 on LinkedIn about the bestseller books. These reviews cover a wide range of topics, offering abundant opportunities for learning and growth. In today’s complex and ever-changing world, traditional ways of organizing and leading teams are no longer effective. In order to succeed, we explore how teams need to be able to adapt quickly to change, share information effectively, and trust each other to make decisions autonomously. We explore a way of building teams in the ✳ Team of Teams ✳ . This book 📗 was written by former US Army General Stanley McChrystal together with Tantum Collins, David Silverman, and Chriss Fussell. Q1. What is the Team of Teams theory? The Team of Teams challenges traditional hierarchical structures and introduces the concept of *Team of Teams*. It narrates a captivating story of a different kind of battle —>a war against a terrorist network, Al-Qaida in Iraq (AQI). This unconventional adversary leveraged technology to create a flexible and decentralized network structure, making them a formidable force to combat. (a). The Team of Teams theory promotes decentralized decision-making and information sharing (e.g., cross-functional teams collaborating on real-time data to respond swiftly to changing market demands). (b).It challenges traditional hierarchies (e.g., bureaucratic organizations) as they often face delays in decision-making due to multiple levels of approvals, hindering their ability to keep pace with the rapidly changing business landscape. Team of Teams is Not ❌ specifically about the military or war, but the Principles of Mission Command 🎯 🎖 can be applied to any team or organization. To overcome these challenges, McChrystal and his team developed the *Mission Command* approach. At its core are 3️⃣ Key Principles: 1.Shared understanding: Clear mission and goals for all team members. 2.Trust: Confidence in each other's decisions for the mission's success. 3.Decentralized execution: Empowering autonomy for agile responses. Q. How do you create team rules of engagement? ✳ Define team goals and values. ✳ Tailor rules to team context. ✳ Involve the team in rule development. ✳ Communicate rules for awareness. ❇ Dealing with Uncertainty ❇ In Team of Teams McChrystal leads the reader through his solution to the problem. From his perspective, in order to deal with ever increasing uncertainty large organizations must become: ✳ Agile – Able to move quickly and with ease. ✳ Adaptable – Able to be modified easily to suit new conditions. ✳ Resilient – Able to withstand and recover from difficult events. ✅ Lesson: Agile leaders prioritize adaptability, innovation, and empowering team members for swift responses to changing circumstances. #agile #leaders #adaptability #circumstances | 102 comments on LinkedIn
