It all starts with the type of person working with you. To manage your team members, you need to understand the type of person he/she is. Let me try to explain the various types of people.
First is a category of people “Hyperactive” as I would call them. These people are very hard-working and need continuous flow of work. These type of people want to keep on learning and working all the time. You will hardly find any person belonging to this category either lying idle on facebook/orkut or any other networking websites or easily available for chat on the communicators. They quickly complete the work assigned to them and wait for more to be assigned. These are the attention seekers and hunger praise, well after all they do deserve it after all the amount of hard-work they have put in. If you have too many of these in your tem there is a likelihood of a work drought in your team. From a Lead or Manager’s point of view, they are good resources to be owned. Yet at the same time, they are tough to manage. They are demanding obviously due to their quality of work and can quit if they are not provided with what they desire. If you happen to be a relaxed Lead/Manager, they can royally screw your life first by complaining to you about the mismanagement ofcourse not by directly pointing fingers to you and then by ensuring that you are doing your amount of work on time and according to their pace.
Next is a category of “Useless“ people. I call them so coz they do not give a value add to the team. These can be easily identified by the ones hanging around idle on networking websites or on chat communicators or listening to music while in office. There is a high possibility that they will find hundreds of excuses why the application was not operating on their system and how they had connection issues. They will not finish the work assigned to them. They just seem(or pretend) not to have the brains to make it all work out. Unless the Lead/Manager is after their life, pinging them every now and then, it is difficult to find them working. Most cases, these people are quite intelligent but seem to have kinda lost interest in the current area of work and are stuck at this job.
Next is a category of “Sensible” people. These people mind their own business and finish the assigned tasks in kinda the amount of time assigned. Incase they are unable to finish their work on time, they will ask for more time. They are perfect team members and do not bother their Leads/Managers unless there definitely is a problem. They work good under either hardworking or lazy types of Leads/Managers. They are easy in understanding and compromising according to situations.
Apart from people belonging to above categories, are the special types of people that I would place in the ”Exceptional” category. These special case people are rarely found and stand-out on their own as an individual. These category people do not have anything common amongst them but are just grouped together because of their nature of being unique.
So which type are you?
