Wrong first manager opening
Inspired by the article "The very first opening of the manager . "
If we summarize the article written in the article referred to above, it turns out that all employees except the managers in the project team are unmotivated people who don't care about the success of the project. This is not the case, and I want to dig deeper and recall what “Collective Irresponsibility” is .
The term has different descriptions and understandings. But, I interpret it as follows.
Collective irresponsibility is a state of affairs when more than 1 performer is responsible for a particular task.
')
As you know, each of the specialists has his own stack of work, his own schedule and his own problems trolley.
The longer the performer works in a certain area, the less chance that, having received a collective task, he will start doing it. Having a supply of problems, he would rather hope for another, since responsibility is blurred. Bad communication between performers further aggravates the whole process.
This is not true - that people are unmotivated and they do not care. The truth is, it is not their responsibility.
Your only desire to make it a team problem is not enough.
One of the main objectives of management is to streamline processes and prevent risks. How and where the dates are moving is the responsibility of the manager, who will go where on vacation and when is the responsibility of the manager. The fact that an employee of a child has a birthday in the release and he did not appear is the responsibility of the manager.
First of all, when you took the position of manager, you need to understand the processes and the risks involved.
The main goal is to make processes executable with greater efficiency.
For this, it is enough to make the processes more transparent and close the responsibility for this or that node on a specific role / artist.
Finishing the idea, I want to insist that the first discovery of a manager is not the realization of the fact that everyone does not care about what is happening, but that the manager is the key figure who is responsible for everything (and people know it).
Deal with it and begin to act, preventing problems by assigning them responsibility and not relying on collective decisions at the level of motivation.

Risks and processes - manager’s responsibility
