Dream Team Concept & Principles

Football managers have to enthuse others with the vision Football managers have to work with limited resources Football managers have to demonstrate leadership (role models) Football managers have to understand player motivations

What makes a dream team?

Business managers have to do the same

Dream Team - The 5 key Principles

Dream teams are created when all 5 principles are brought into play:

Principle 1: The Myth of Self Sufficiency The belief that reliance on one person is solely responsible for delivering performance - It’s

a myth! Top class teams know how to harness star players to play for the team They work together as a team to create situations where the star player can excel

Principle 2: Delivering Marginal Gains Marginal gains is all about 1% The tiny things which add up to make a significant difference Great teams and team managers leverage that 1%

Dream Team - The 5 key Principles

Principle 3: Managing Substitution effectively The (often incorrect) assumption is that the manager always selects the right team for the right

task and the team selected will get them and the manager through to the final whistle The strategic use of substitutes and squad dynamics has a key part to play

Principle 4: Unifying Culture Managers have to be more aware of cultural differences and be cognisant of the diversity that

each individual brings to the team effort Embracing diversity and cultural differences in teams

Principle 5: Promoting effective Communication It seems an obvious principle, yet in football the need to communicate clearly, at speed, to

different people in a rapidly changing situation requires skill. Business is no different!

Business Application - Facilitated Session

Session Focus: This is a 2 hour facilitated session for attendees to start to work on whatever team issues are

appropriate for them

Small syndicate groups , where the composition is driven by a variety of factors, e.g. Delegates working in the same team / sharing the same manager Working in the same organisation Have similar issues to discuss

The facilitators are around to help you with your conversations and discussions

Typical outputs could include: Revised dream team gap analysis Team role definitions, communications plan and team training plan Stakeholder analysis

4 Vital Questions

1) What is the vision for your team?

2) How do you know that your team understands and shares your vision?

3) What drives your individual team members?

4) How do you use their individual drivers to support the team and its performance?

The answers should be on the tip of your tongue
