  • The Four Obsessions of an Extraordinary Executive

    1535 Words  | 4 Pages

    After reading The Four Obsessions of an Extraordinary Executive, I think that the author brings up an excellent, although rather idealistic, plan for organizing and maintaining an upper-level management team. The four "obsessions" or disciplines as they are referred to in the text, cover the entire spectrum of the ideal team. The early stages of teambuilding are covered and he explains the high level of trust and accountability that are required, even comparing it to the closeness of an actual family. He than discusses the clarity of the team, touching on aspects such as values, goals, and my favorite, competition. He stresses the immense importance of over communicating this clarity until you feel that you have "beaten a dead horse". Finally, he discusses the reinforcement of this clarity throughout every part of the human resource system. This includes the interview process when hiring workers, the periodic evaluations, and even in the dismissal stage. In this paper, I would like to focus on the discipline that I feel is most commonly overlooked, reinforcement through human relations.

A team, as defined above, has certain characteristics that make it effective. Not all of these traits are present when a team is in the forming stage. Tea...

    From looking at what makes up a team player, it is easy to see what a team player is not. To be a team player, one cannot be selfish or need recognition for one’s individual accomplishments. In not being selfish, a team player will always put the needs of others ahead of his/her own needs. Therefore, not needing recognition for one’s accomplishments is the strong point of the team player; he/she only expresses pleasure when the team as a whole is successful.

In order to complete several different tasks, managers and supervisors usually perform teams and assign different tasks to complete one major assignment. Team work starts at the top (Smikle, 2009). When supervisors or managers are willing to administer teamwork, they are enabling the employees to follow. Managers or supervisors set good examples when they delegate tasks, but more importantly express to the employees how teamwork is productive. Employees work by example, more so now than by demands.
