Force-Field Analysis
Unit Structure ◦ Product and process orientation is better. Accountability ◦ Change accountability to customers, not managers Unit Goals ◦ Goals must be team goals Responsibility ◦ Employees held responsible to team success
Compensation and Recognition ◦ Give credit and benefits to team Planning and Control ◦ Teams and managers work together
Reward both the individual and team Total Compensation ◦ Reward at three levels Base individual compensation Individual incentive compensation Team-based incentive compensation
Decide what performance to measure ◦ Growth of marketing business Determine how to measure performance ◦ Number of new clients Indentify rewards to be offered ◦ Monetary per new client Integrate related process ◦ Be sure reward system fits with existing system
Intrinsic & Extrinsic motivation Extrinsic motivation: money, vacation time, movie tickets Intrinsic motivation: Helping each other, learning new skills. To identify intrinsic motivators: ASK! ◦ Different for each employee ◦ Build rapport
Incentives must be sought after by individual and team. MBTI “typing.” ◦ Thinkers v. Feelers. All employees want recognition after a job well done.
Culture related challenges: ◦ Communication ◦ Attitudes ◦ Authority ◦ Decision making
Adaptation ◦ Accommodating cultural differences ◦ Record problems/develop solutions Structural intervention ◦ Moving team members Managerial guidance ◦ Manager sets ground rules for interaction Exit ◦ Unhappy team members allow to leave ◦ Last resort
Would the performance of the teams change if we only rewarded the individual who touched the most numbers? How would this effect the group? Was there a cultural barrier to teamwork? If so, how? Did you feel motivated to complete the task as best as possible? If so, why? If not, what could we offer to motivate more effectively?
