Companies needto be re-designed, but how?

In the way we do Org Design we have to transition from “conventional thinking” to a “living systems logic” and

teams can be a good vehicle for that.

But what is changing in the

way teams have to

function in a VUCA world?

Mono to multi directed influence

Less manager - more facilitator

Perspective blender to blending

Fully stable to fully dynamic

From (counter)dependent to interdependent

From execution to co-creation

In essence it’s about the externalization of the internal strategy of a manager by helping team members to develop that same choreography with each other …

of

(bio)TEAMS

TEAM PROGRESSIONS

Progression 1

Desire to achieve something special

Being able to co-creatie a common desire to make a positive difference

(= WHY?)

This goal (or purpose) covers both physical, mental, emotional and

spiritual needs from team members (cfr. Coveys – The Fire From Within)

This is the key for drive in the team and a meaningful connection with

the surrounding world

Positive Collaboration

Progression 2

Developing mutual Care

Finding balance between ‘We’ (= Whole) and ‘I’ (= Part) in service of

the purpose of the team

Tough Love – Learning to use tensions and conflicts as a source for

growth

Trust and accountability develops by walking along that path

(cfr. Lencioni)

Shared Leadership

Progression 3

Organic & dynamic Leadership

Leadership is not a rigid role or position

Leading is serving, facilitating, … (= more than EGO)

Leadership is based on strengths and the task at hand

Healthy Interaction with

outside world

Progression 4

Being aware of stakeholders

Transformational (vs. transactional) interaction with stakeholders

The team is embedded in a healthy network (= WireArchy)

Interdependent interactions

Balanced internal/external focus

Wall – Boundary – No boundary (cfr. A. Linden)

POS NEGRATIO

Progression 5

Much more positive

- appreciative, progression oriented, generative -

vs. negative

- judging, problem oriented, paralyzing -

interactions

inside and outside the team

Which leads to a

Progression Oriented Dynamic

Shared Mind-Set & Values

Progression 6

Shared-Mindset & Values(cfr. InterSubjectivity)

This is the lens through which sensemaking of changes in the

outer world happens

Development of shared Leading Principles

or Heuristics

Share this vision & lens

Map team(s)

TeamCoaching(s) – Intra & Inter

Monitor progress – Intra & Inter

Team Progressions: a great help to re-pattern team and organizational dynamics
