PROJECT TEAMS

‘Ideal’ size of project team?

Very small teams (e.g. 2 to 3 people) lack often

diversities (functional, personality) needed for

Innovation

Very large teams (> 10 to 12 people) are too big to

exchange info in an effective and active way

LEADERSHIP

Managers that don’t like conflicts, fall often in

‘comfortable clone syndrome’

Surround themselves with people thinking the

same way

Quote CEO Bekina: “Maar nieuwe ideeën en

verbetervoorstellen komen ook van onze eigen

mensen die aan de machines staan. Elke dag

komen we bij onze medewerkers meermaals

langs. Je kunt daar geleerde termen voor

bedenken zoals functionerings- of

evaluatiegesprekken - ik noem dat een ‘goeie

babbel’, en niet in mijn bureau, maar op een vat

of een pallet. ‘Wat wil je verbeteren op je

werkpost, voel je je goed in je vel?’ We hangen

hun verbetervoorstellen uit, en volgen ze op.”
