In today's fast-paced business environment. concentrating decision-making authority with a few people no longer works. Centralized decision-making creates frustration for those who can't act until decisions are made, and it inhibits people from taking action in a timely and responsible manner. Using this approach. organizations simply can't compete successfully. and employees end up feeling that they aren't valued. Motivation and morale drop. and company performance is dragged clown with them.
Here, Blanchard, Randolph. and Grazier show that rncning key decisions closer to the front line and learning a new way of working in teams makes good business sense. They provide a three-step process for creating teams that release their mcnr¬hers' power-power that corner from their knowledge. experience, and internal moti¬vation.
You and your team members will first assess where you are. then embark on the step-by-step process of becoming a Next I,evel Team. You'll learn to use ideas more effectively, make excellent team decisions, and feel the pride of having contributed in new and more meaningful ways.
As your group transforms into a Next bevel Team, responsibility will shift naturally from the leader to the team. creativity will be enhanced, satisfaction will increase. and you'll achieve outstanding results. You will suddenly find your team soaring above the ordinary.
