管理者需要知道的六种领导策略

By Carl Eidson, PhD

在充满不确定性的市场中,许多公司都专注于削减开支、提高生产率和效率,以此遏制市场份额的损失,扭转销售下降的趋势。这通常意味着裁员和重组,以降低劳动力成本,消除冗余,更好地瞄准稀缺资源。在这个过程中,公司会关闭一些办公室,部门和部门之间会被合并,员工也会被重新分配,领导者们面临着管理更大范围的挑战——通常覆盖多个地点。在不断变化的全球业务环境中,获得竞争优势将取决于业务单元、部门和职能部门之间跨界成功协作的能力。

然而,即使只是隔着一层楼或办公室内的一个隔断,协作也不是想当然地轻而易举就能实现的。作为组织的主要工作单位,团队变得越来越“虚拟化”,由跨越空间、时区和文化的员工所组成。随着越来越多的虚拟团队的出现,对那些希望用这种团队形式实现组织重要业务目标的公司来说,有效地领导他们变得至关重要。

Effective coaching is a challenge for most managers, but especially so when they lack the opportunity to observe their team members carrying out tasks and interacting on a regular basis.
