The telltale indices of today's
business are uncertainty,
complexity, speed and continuity—all arranged in
an order not rigidly fixed but often gets juxtaposed thus making the
entire process of the business extremely demanding. It is
practically impossible for any one individual, however high degree of talent,
to manage the entire show single-handedly. It is precisely the
point where the concept of `team' comes into the focus. A `team' keeping
all philosophical and academic frills out of the ambit of this
discussion, can be conceptualized as a formation of human beings
which gets initiated when two or more people voluntarily
associate together to achieve a common objective by complimenting
each others skills as well as supplementing each
others shortcomings. In the process, sharing of skills and
knowledge occur in synergic progression. To make this endeavor of teamwork
a success, the members must maintain a non-aligned
unbiased mindset tuned to the receptive mode so that anyone can learn
from anybody.
In the present day, business environment of extreme
high competitiveness—sustenance is mostly dependant on
the optimization of resources. This includes the most critical input
of human resource. Mere increase in number (of employees)
is prohibitive with unlimited scope of improvement existing in
the quality of manpower. It is a known fact that human brain is
simply powerful. It is yet to be deciphered what goes on inside. Nothing
on earth can be compared to its immense capacity. But in
general, only 5% of this huge brain power is being utilized. Those people
are extremely sparse who can utilize more than this percentage of
their brain. Albert Einstein could utilize 25% of his brain. But super
heroes are few and far between. In a given situation, when the demands
and challenges of business is ever-increasing, it is always fit to club
a few human brain together and take advantage of the combined effect
of their brain power (than to wait indefinitely for a super brain
to appear). |
