It’s your job to build capability
1. A strong team. There is almost nothing more important in the “DO Better” category, which is about over achieving on the right few things that have the biggest impact on the business, than building a really strong team that can grow.
2. It is your job as a manager and leader to make your team more capable, not just manage their work.
3. You build capability in two ways: 1 – Develop people to become more capable over time, and 2 – Make people changes when current team members can’t live up to future requirements.
Start with Business Outcomes
4. Start with Business Outcomes. What does the business need? Draw a blank-sheet ideal org chart at your roadmap for your team, based on what the business requires.
5. Define NEW roles based on short term deliverables and longer term desired outcomes. Include skill levels around judgment, leadership, communication, and personal support as well as technical/content skills.
6. People Moves. Once you have an ideal org chart, you will find some people on your current team will fit, but you will need to deal fairly with empty boxes and extra people.
Guilt, Change, & Difficulties
7. It is human nature to feel guilt when you eliminate jobs, but you need to realize that this is business driven and not personal. You are creating roles to deliver business outcomes and then filling those roles with the most capable people.
8. You need to sell your plan and the value of the business outcomes your improved team will drive with your boss and HR early in the process. This support is critical to getting it done and will make you feel more confident as you go through the process.
9. Don’t forget to keep momentum with high performers while you are diving change.
The Payoff
10. Building a stronger team is good for you, your team, and your business. And don’t forget that taking people out of jobs they are struggling in is also good for them. They deserve to be in a job where they can thrive.
