Question

Using your own experience, or asking someone who has been part of an SMT, describe some of the self-managing activities of the team that made it a truly self-managing team as opposed to a traditional team.

Answer 1

Answer: In addition to the technical tasks expected of any employee working in a traditional organizational structure, a self-managed team develops management tasks, which include the organization of the workflow, as well as managing annual leave and absence.

Explanation:

Usually, the different team members rotate through the management and technical responsibilities, giving everyone the chance to do both. This experience in management tasks provides every team member with a better knowledge of the productive process as a whole and a better understanding of management decisions.
