How big is your team? I am not suggesting that authority or effectiveness derives from the number of reports you have. In fact, I believe the opposite, that authority and effectiveness come from the influence you have over decision-making and that is usually rooted in your knowledge, instinct, creativity and experience. It’s for this reason that many people in an organization have an impact on a team’s ability to deliver against goals and targets. They have influence, even if they are not aware of it. My argument today is that we should be more expansive in the way we think about teams. This goes beyond what is written on an org chart and embraces a more inclusive and interesting definition of what a team is.
