LESSON NOTES
A team can focus on two things:
• task
• relationship
And, for each, there are 2 elements:
• - the content
• The process
This gives us 4 quadrants where you need to attend to your team leadership that you need to attend to:
1. Task/Content
This is the basic job the team is there to do: what they need to do and the outcomes you need from them
2. Task/Process
This is how the team needs to tackle their task. The plans, systems, processes, rules.
It is also how they go about solving problems and making decisions.
3. Relationships/Content
This is the nature of the relationships you wish to create. Ranging from formal hierarchies, reporting lines, and collaborations, to informal networks
4. Relationships/Process
This is how the team communicates - both amongst its members and with other collaborators and stakeholders outside of the team.
Includes things like ground rules for behaviors.
