- Synopsis
- When you're the boss, you must manage your people as a team without losing sight of this simple reality: team members are people who want to be seen and cared about as individuals. That's human nature-and the paradox of teams. In this chapter, authors Linda Hill and Kent Lineback stress the importance of managing individuals within the context of your overall team. They explain why you need to recognize individuals for their contributions to the team, for their faithful compliance with team standards and expectations, and for their constructive disagreement within the team when that occurs. In essence, your goal is to make your team a place where both sets of needs-individual and team-can work in tandem. Using key questions as section headings- "How well do you interact with your people?"; "Do you delegate?"; "Do you know how to develop people and improve their performance?"; "Do you know how to select the right people for your team?"-this chapter allows you to assess your own people-management skills as you continue on your journey toward becoming a great boss. This chapter was originally published as Chapter 10 of "Being the Boss: The 3 Imperatives for Becoming a Great Leader."
