Why Team coordination is painful, while you have team over 45?

Inorder to manage a team of45 associates,I believe grouping and delegating authority is the answer.

if you can split them into4 to5 groups with each group appoint a leader,you will be delegating authority to each leader,you then have to lead and manage4-5 teams leaders which in there turn lead and manage their groups.

i found it to be very effective and  efficient and delivers positive results.

dealing with  a large team is time consuming and proven  hard to navigate and obtain required results Due to the diversity of each team member.

Sure management team of45  is painful..

but I agree with amer jayyousi. You must split them to4 or5 groups to solve this problem.

 

It's very hard to satisfy everyone and this is why its hard to work in large teams.However from my experience I would say make everyone feel responsible and very important , draw clear governance for the team, set accessible communication channels "allow matrix communication structure", and build a team pulling mentality "understanding organization" where everyone understands the main goals and is able and motivated to pull toward achieving that goal. I believe this should make it less painful..... As they say management is an art and any artist should be patient sensitive and motivated enough to focus on long run goals rather than the mess of today.

Very nice question

I do handle a team of35 persons working under me, and would like to share the steps I do to handle and co-relate them with me and myself with them:

1) Attachement of professional emotions

2) Listening with extra open ears

3) Pointing out the main points

4) Personal touch with everybody

5) Maintaining perfectly the ERP

6) Every work or statement I prefer to be on a paper which I get singed by each and every member of my team

7) I always be realistic with them in terms of their problems

8) Proper liase with mangement

9) Proper supervision 

10) Proper distribution of work with sufficient work heads

11) Creating sub team heads 

12) Appreciating everyone other than myself

13) Work on only working time and after that friends

Rest the techniques we can find openly on google.

With a team of over45, time is the biggest constraint for allowing space for all to put their views and validation of the same for mutual concurrence.

I agree that it is like a pain 

but once i had a team of38 and the top management refused to split them to groups and have a team leader for each7 or8 members so i had to face the idea of coordinating38 member in the same team

i had to do the following :

1 - Having a global picture of all the work that has to be done.

2 - Setting a common goal .

3 - Knowing my team . The members of a team are, in most cases, very different between them. Everyone has her/his own way of thinking or acting.

4 - Defining team roles is a task tightly linked to the previous point.

5 - Planing. Once the team is formed and the role of each team member defined, we should make a planing

6 - Communicating . As you can imagine, all the previous points will lose their sense if we haven’t been able of transmitting them to the team.

7 - Finding the correct tools. It’s evident that we should make use of all tools that can make the work of coordination easier.

Team co-ordination is not a pain - It is sign of being successful - If not so, then NO PAIN NO GAIN

Agreed having huge team is full of pain.

Due to large amount of resources

It is very hard to keep all of them aligned & focused

That is true, because you will have different mind sets.
