People’s and a team’s success (as well as yours) depends on things that aren’t necessarily in your control.
Of course, managing a team also means managing and monitoring goals and results. But not everything can or needs to be managed or is in your power (span of control/span of attention). Employees have their own space, which can be about how they achieve the goals. Think of the theory of self-organisation and self-management. It is necessary, however, to be clear about the results to be achieved and the scope of everyone’s freedom of regulation, frameworks, etc. Provide clarity in such a way that the goals are precisely defined through achievable and measurable results.
What are the goals and how and with whom do you formulate them so that you can follow the progress of their achievement?
Define measurable goals and targets.
Measure results through examining critical success factors or Key Performance Indicators (KPI), for example by measuring complaints, customer satisfaction, financial indicators, etc.
Don't only measure material, but also more abstract things like well-being, employee satisfaction.
How are you going to facilitate this measurement?
How do you implement self-organisation in teams? What is needed for this?
An important aspect is beyond question: stay curious, innovative and continue to learn. Find your way in this, look for sources and above all, get to work: Learn by doing!
