“Team Reconstruction in Challenging Times”
By: J. Glenn Ebersole, Jr., Chief Executive of J. G. Ebersole Associates and The Renaissance Group™
Building or rebuilding successful teams in challenging times is a very difficult job. One must restore productivity and profitability in the workplace that has been hit by change. One must also deal with angry, confused, distracted, emotional, irritated, stressed, etc. employees. There is a need for a strategy to handle the pressure of this type of change and rebuilding your team(s).
Recently my professional business and strategic thinking coaching practice has been working very closely with team reconstruction during challenging times. During my research and review of past experiences and approaches used successfully by others, I was fortunate to find a very useful reference and handbook by Price Pritchett & Ron Pound. The title of this publication is: “Team ReConstruction Building A High Performance Work Group During Change A Handbook for Managers.”
The authors have put together some guidelines to team reconstruction in difficult times. The methodology is presented in 14 steps, which are:
Face Reality.
Empower Yourself.
Take Charge.
Set a Clear Agenda
Focus on Hard Results Rather than Intangibles.
Analyze Your People Assets
Re-Recruit Your Keepers
Carve Out Roles and Responsibilities
Show a Sense of Urgency
Tighten Discipline
Spend Freely with “Soft Currency.”
Lay New Communication Pipelines.
Point Your Team Toward “Magnetic North.”
Pay Attention to Process.
I highly recommend this handbook to you. The handbook is
ISBN 0-944002-10-2. You may order the publication by calling 800-992-5922 or by going online at www.pritchettnet.com
