Re: Strategic Plan in Effective Team Management Entering into a new market segment will be a particularly challenging project to implement into our current structure. Many factors will need to become more apparent when we attempt to initialize a set plan that suits not only the strategical needs of the organization but those of the employee’s involved. Instructing my team to use initiative and putting such faith in my individual members will be crucial for executing within a designated time frame so we can be ready for our new department to take off on its own. Each and every person involved within our new departmental team will be evaluated and then properly utilized in the implementation of the agreed upon plan. Understanding the way that my team thinks and the way they demonstrate such thoughts into positive outcomes will be of the essence. I had each of them take a Jungian Assessment which can assist me in regulating what role they should identify themselves with and then to adapt to that role according to the situation in question (Human Metrics, 2013). My first team member is Latish Jenkins; she applies herself constantly in expressing her ideas and recommendations to complete assigned projects. It was determined that Latish is very organized, compulsive, private, trustworthy and practical. The assessment related those traits to a career as an office manager, accountant, business manager, tax agent and public servant. Latish would be most effective in the implementer role in constructing daily work plans and helping to ensure that those plans are effective in meeting our departmental goals (Merchant, 2014). Only negative affect I can foresee from this role is that if changes do have to be made then it may take more time for her to adapt to these changes due to her
