Passing the Parcel - 2
Rek's team is encountering numerous issues with their assigned task, and it's clear that the manager is displeased.
If "passing the parcel" is ineffective for communicating requirements, what are the alternative methods?
The ABCs of Business
Among the colleagues I've worked with, I can broadly classify them under 3 categories - the Anticipator, the Bystander and the Chiller. A-Anticipator can predict any possible problems based on their understanding of a given task. They can judge people and situations accurately and are hence able to call-out any problem earlier than others. Even with one Anticipator the rest of the team can be pretty much stress-free. B-Bystander knows there is a problem only when it becomes bigger and significant, they generally don't want to invite lot of attention to themselves and hence need to be nudged to move out of their zone. C-Chiller doesn't understand the problem even if its staring in their face. Even one Chiller than spike the stress levels of the whole team, as whatever they miss will eventually overflow into other team members' areas. Fortunately, the Chiller is a minority group, but unfortunately so is the Anticipator.
