Matrix Blues
I don’t know what they do or how to get them involved.
I have one boss who says I should focus on ‘X’ and another who says focus on ‘Y’
No one knows who is responsible any more.
How do I get things done when all of my team reports to a different manager?
I have the responsibility for the project completion but I don’t control any of the re
sources.
The project team is located on 3 different continents and time zones so that there
is no time when we are all in our offices at the same time. Yet
efficient communication is the key to our success. How do you make that work?

Generations Building highly effective teams
Baby boomers: (born 1946-1964)
Team working style - Teamwork is about “pulling together” and “team spirit”
Team meetings are scheduled at key points in the project (a planned
approach).
Value/style in teams - Must have common purpose, values, goals etc. It’s
important that people “fit”.
![Page 59: Influence and leadership convincing the bear keynote](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051705/58836ac31a28ab536b8b6167/html5/thumbnails/59.jpg)
Generations Building highly effective teams
Gen X: (born 1964-1980)
Team working style- Value the unique contributions that people can make.
Team meetings are scheduled at key points in the project (a planned
approach).
Value/style in teams - Realize that diversity is good but sometimes struggle
with it. Like the networking aspects of team-working.
![Page 60: Influence and leadership convincing the bear keynote](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051705/58836ac31a28ab536b8b6167/html5/thumbnails/60.jpg)
Generations Building highly effective teams
Gen Y: (born 1981-2000)
Team working style - Trust and openness is paramount. Want team meetings
only when they are needed – little and often.
Value/style in teams - Likes to know the bigger picture, purpose. Diversity is
exciting and challenging to them – it’s an opportunity to learn. Status not an
issue – they speak to the „person‟ not the „position‟.
Their concerns/weaknesses - Can appear too „random‟ for Boomers and Xers
and may need to receive coaching on project planning and formal feedback
mechanisms. Can appear to be disrespectful to more senior team member.
