Adrian’s story continues. After successfully going through a series of steps to achieve the objectives with his team, he realizes that in order to benefit from additional results, he needs to find alternatives.
An effective leader can be recognized not only for his ability to make good decisions, but also for his ability to build alternatives for his team. Building alternatives involves exploring and developing options that can deliver superior results or bring additional benefits to the team.
Adrian knows that an important first step in building alternatives is to understand the context in which his team is involved and to identify possible challenges or opportunities. This involves a careful analysis of the situation, the market or competition, as well as an evaluation of the resources and existing capabilities of the team.
Thus, Adrian decides to encourage divergence of opinions within the team, in order to bring up more perspectives and ideas. He does this by being open to dialogue and promoting a culture within his team where members feel comfortable expressing their ideas freely.
Additionally, Adrian facilitates the decision-making process by considering contributions from all members and evaluating the advantages and disadvantages of each proposed alternative. It is important that the process is transparent and based on solid arguments, to ensure that the alternatives built are well-founded.
Ultimately, Adrian, as a leader, is open to adaptation and flexibility, to adjust or change direction based on the feedback received or changes in the external environment. Building alternatives is not a static process, but a dynamic one that requires a continuous approach and openness to innovation and improvement.
In conclusion, an effective leader can contribute to the success of his team through the ability to build solid and relevant alternatives, which allow them to face challenges and seize opportunities along the way. By promoting a culture of innovation and collaboration, Adrian will inspire and motivate the team to exceed their limits and reach their full potential.
