Addressing Collective Delegation Up in Leadership Teams PPT
This PPT slide, part of the 22-slide Team Turnaround Strategies PowerPoint presentation, focuses on a specific dysfunction within leadership teams, termed "Collective Delegation Up." It outlines how this dysfunction manifests during transitions when executives inherit teams that are reluctant to make and own decisions. The text indicates that this delegation behavior undermines the purpose of having a leadership team, which should ideally serve as a resource for executives. When team members delegate decisions upward, it prevents executives from concentrating on strategic issues that require their attention.
The slide emphasizes that this behavior is driven by a shared belief system among team members, suggesting that understanding these underlying beliefs is crucial for addressing the dysfunction. It highlights the importance of diagnosing the prevailing beliefs that contribute to this collective behavior. Additionally, it calls for an examination of the conditions that have led to the acceptance of these beliefs within the team.
The right side of the slide elaborates on the potential origins of this dysfunction, indicating that a culture of intimidation may have developed under previous leadership. This could stem from controlling behaviors exhibited by past CEOs or leaders, which can lead to team members feeling excessively punished for mistakes. Such an environment fosters fear and discourages independent decision-making, ultimately resulting in poor performance.
The overall message is clear: addressing the dysfunction of collective delegation up is essential for empowering teams to take ownership of their decisions and improve overall effectiveness. This slide serves as a critical reminder for executives to evaluate team dynamics and cultivate a culture that encourages accountability and decision-making at all levels.
This slide is part of the Team Turnaround Strategies PowerPoint presentation.
