 - 4 dimensions of relational work

Butler en Waldroop wijzen er in artikel in de Harvard Business Review van juni 2004 op dat bij de samenstelling van teams gestreefd moet worden naar een juiste mix van ambities, eigenschappen en vaardigheden. Ze onderscheiden hiertoe 4 dimensies die men de gaten moet houden:
1. Uitoefenen van invloed;
2. Binden en motiveren;
3. Creativiteit en voorstellingsvermogen;
4. Leiderschap.
Het artikel waarin beide heren dit allemaal uitleggen hebben we bijgevoegd.

The 4 Dimensions of Relational Work of Timothy Butler and James Waldroop is presented in the Harvard Business Review (HBR) of June 2004. According to Butler and Waldroop, interpersonal common sense is critical in almost any areas of business.
Basically, Managers can boost productivity:
- By hiring the right employees.
- By making the best work assignments.
- By rewarding performance in the right way.
- By promoting career development.

Although this may seem obious, Waldroop and Butler say one should distinguish between 4 type of relational interest and skills:
1. Influence: Professionals who enjoy developing and extending their sphere of interpersonal influence. They take pleasure in persuasion, negotiation and the power of holding valuable information and ideas. Typical for sales managers, marketing managers, negotiators and M&A dealmakers.
2. Interpersonal Facilitation: People that are keenly attuned to the interpersonal aspects of work situations. They intuitively focus on experiences of other people and operate ususlly quite behind the schenes. In this way they keep their coleagues commited and engaged so that project run smoothly. Typical for Human Recources managers.
3. Relational Creativity: People who are good at making connections with groups of people through visual and verbal imagery. Typical for advertising people and brand managers.
4. Team Leadership: These are people that are want to see other people, and interact with them. They like managing and working in high-energy teams in hectic service environments. Typical for program Managers and Managers of Direct Service Delivery Units.

These four Dimensions of Rational Work are not discrete types; a person can have great interest and skill in two or more areas or in none of them. Aslo scoring high in one dimension may be detrimental to other areas and to certain types of work.
