The assumed role - the premise of happy teams

Rapid changes, the need and the ability to constantly adapt to new technologies, which bring with them new needs of consumers, customers, bring a new perspective to the understanding of organizational structures and production processes.

In this context, in Lean / Agile companies, roles are more important than jobs / positions. Why? They bring more flexibility being associated with flexible processes, they can be taken over by people with various functions (managerial or not), they enhance the results, not the execution of tasks, they are focused on the value brought to the organization and not on the execution of tasks.

The identification, understanding and taking on roles by the members of the organization comes with clarity, self-awareness, involvement, devotion to the workplace, attitudes so desired by employers of the present time.

The role not related to the position held gives meaning to the one who exercises it, which increases within the medium- and long-term staff retention, effective communication within teams and between teams; It increases job satisfaction, because - it is known - the meaning of the work done helps us wake up in the morning and smile thinking about what we are going to do.

Understanding and taking on the role become benchmarks in achieving performance, and why not – in achieving success.
