When I say "support the success of your teammate," it might seem obvious. Many organizations, not just companies, often emphasize the importance of teamwork. However, don't you feel that there are surprisingly few organizations where good teamwork and supporting teammate' success are part of the culture? Let's consider how supporting the success of teammate in a company can be achieved, step by step.
Stage 1: For new hires and less experienced staff, they first need to understand their role and perform their duties. From a supervisor's perspective, there is nothing more reassuring than seeing staff complete their work without mistakes. As mentioned in "Deliver the best possible performance in the given circumstance", if staff can thoroughly accomplish their assigned tasks, they are sufficiently supporting the team.
Stage 2: As you gain experience, you gradually become proficient in your work. Then, you will likely notice new staff struggling with their tasks. If you can teach less experienced staff how to do their work, that is amazing. There are hardly any staff who dislike a supervisor who doesn't hesitate to teach them. This is where small leadership begins.
Stage 3: Once you can manage your work and oversee the progress of your staff' work, it is good to start observing what your supervisor is doing. Generally, the higher up one goes in a company, the busier he becomes. Consider what you can do beyond your own work to support your supervisor. As you continue, you will gradually understand what your supervisor's job entails. In addition to supporting your supervisor, this also prepares you for the next step.
First, fulfill your responsibilities, then guide those with less experience, and finally support your supervisor beyond your own work. By growing step by step in this way, you not only support your teammate but also build your own career. As more employees grow in this manner, the company will also grow.
In the next column, I would like to discuss why there are surprisingly few organizations that cultivated such a culture.
