Building an A Team: Understanding Individual Growth and Optimizing Team Composition
Building an exceptional team involves recognizing that everyone is driven by a desire to grow and supporting them accordingly. By understanding the different phases of growth, managers can strategically optimize their team composition and foster growth for both individuals and the organization. The S-curve framework provides a helpful visual representation, dividing growth into launch, sweet spot, and mastery stages. Managers can assess where each team member falls on this curve, offering targeted support and challenges. Ideally, around 60% of the team should be in the sweet spot, 20% in launch, and 20% in mastery. This balance ensures a dynamic team and continuous growth for all members.
