Homo Schablonicus makes executives happy

It seems very practical to us People to be sorted into handy grids. So are Employees easier to plan for the respective job requirement. At the same time, it optimally separates the area of ​​responsibility of the recruiter from the respective manager. If it doesn't work with the new, it's not the theory-heavy personality psychology of the Assessment-Center Debt, but rather the practical leadership psychology of the manager.

In a self-experiment, the procedures for making our personality more interesting are interesting and in areas very revealing. Yes, they bring so much light into the darkness of self-discovery. At the same time, for these reasons, they are also so frightening, because our beloved ME suddenly seems so stenciled and controllable by others.

Similar results of different analyzes also confirm these findings and allow us to mature in our faith in the human being to be treated as a raster. How practical: finally the modern, supposedly so individual person, fits again into technical raster, which we have so appreciated. What a blessing for the management: Teambuilding actually happens by itself, because the newcomer does not only close a specialist but even a personality gap in the department.

Beautiful theory. The world looks different.

As far as is theoretically possible, teams can be completely analyzed and newly created from a flood of applicants. But when does it happen? Most of the time, the new person was analyzed in his or her personality and is still more or less skilfully implanted in the team.

But as a rule, it's much more primitive: You're happy to get someone at all and take what is technically quite suitable and seems halfway charming to the person who is hiring. In addition, the manager is chronically "land under" with all the technical Tasks and now even increased personnel requirements to integrate the new ones and to use them optimally in the workflow.

Teambuilding is not deligible

So it needs a team building Measures. Professionally shaped Executives then very eagerly reach for apparently tried and tested ones Methodsto form a real team out of a group of people. And just like they learned to be functional: press this button, you get that effect. So events of all kinds are booked, which pretend the ideal team world for hours or days and, apart from hefty expenses, quite fast leave a “never been”.

Unfortunately, team building doesn't work that way for people. Look at any top team in any field. Have they been sent down rivers in rubber boats and won world titles as a result? No. Such measures are nice, fun, beautiful and lighten the atmosphere. Not more. Guide and thus team building is not delegable.

Teambuilding always takes place in its own juice

Give your people the opportunity to regularly celebrate success in their very own specialist task. common Success is the best team builder. Nothing wrong with that.

  2. In the conversation, give something of yourself personally. Show yourself as a human being. You get it back from your people on the same level.
  3. Just do what you love. Then you can also take other people with you.
  4. Ask your team, what annoys everyone. Resolve every anger unmistakably. Your team learns how to quickly and consistently eliminate annoyances.
  5. Make arrangements and define clear responsibilities. Request this relentlessly without any delay.
  6. Live the values ​​of your team without exception and consistently, without letting in.
  7. Boost your people's creative resources efficiently and free of charge: Get your team completely out of the working world and, for example, only allow private topics during a walk together in the park. Then all of a sudden you request expressions of wishes or possible solutions for current problems.
