Every CIO dreams of having a fully committed team. A highly motivated and strong team that totally understands the significance of information technology and helps in accomplishing company goals is an asset that cannot be underestimated in any way. However, in the contemporary competitive scenario, it is important to deal with the factors that may cause the team to burn out.
Prevention of Team Burnout
According to Femi Loye and Bolanle Loye, reputed management consultants linked with FEBBS Solution--Management and Business Solutions providers with offices in London, UK and Lagos, Nigeria; it is the job of those high up in the organizational hierarchy to stop burnouts from taking place in their teams. At the very onset, they need to identify the team members who are likely to burnout at the earliest and thereafter they need to keep a watchful eye on them to keep track of the problems –as and when they arise.
Once the problems start surfacing, it becomes essential to take positive steps before they attain irreversible proportions. One of the best ways of tackling the issue on hand is by stopping everything that is being carried out by the team. Instead of letting the members get too consumed by their actions, it is best to get their total attention by bringing work to a complete halt.
Way Forward….
After the team is off-site, smartly conceived team building exercises can be introduced to allow team members to take a break and spend some quality time together. With no structured agenda for these events, it becomes easy for them to unwind and feel regenerated once again.
