There must be clear and accepted rules for the division of tasks. When a task appears, you can determine which group should be assigned or how to break down the task, which group should the task be assigned. Although it is not necessary for everyone to be clearResults of division of labor based on RulesIdentify and let them realize that the entire team is deciding the assignment of tasks through a common rule (of course, this rule should be fair and reasonable first ). If such a rule is set and implemented, the subsequent task assignment does not need to be decided by the leaders, and all the team members are aware of it. This is the efficient intangible management and system management, which I refer to as the principle division of labor.
I have come across some teams that do not have such clear rules of division of labor. In many cases, they are determined by discussions or decisions made by managers. This is a way where the proportion of human factors is too high. I found that this will make many people reluctant to accept the task, and finally forced to push it down through the manager's board, but the decisive factor for the manager is too large, such determination is completely artificial, unpredictable, and uncertain for the team members. For a long time, this will lead to an unfair, inertia, and support mentality in the team. In the end, not only will the task be unable to be assigned, but all the team members complain, what's worse is that many people have nothing to do at all. This is a terrible result!
