Managementography: The future of team leadership – balancing flexibility and uniformity

What it’s all about

One of the key challenges for team leaders is to find a balance between uniformity and flexibility. The image of a row of identical-looking mannequins in different business attire serves as an apt metaphor for this challenge.

What it’s all about

For professional managers, the most important thing is to be flexible and far-sighted. An interesting development in this context is the emergence of so-called “management preppers” – managers who actively prepare for the end of their employment in a company well in advance, long before such a turn of events is even foreseeable.
