Over the holidays, I flipped through a book called \u201c21 Lessons from the 21st Century\u201d written by Yuval Noah Harari. The first sentence of the introduction goes like this: \u201cIn a world deluged by irrelevant information, clarity is power.\u201d<\/p>\n

In an industry such as additive manufacturing, where technologies change the way things are designed and produced, clarity is crucial for success, especially when it comes to building a winning team. You can\u2019t be at the forefront of changing the way things are being manufactured by lacking clarity around the teams you build and the goals you set for them.<\/p>\n

In the international chase for the right talent, only a few companies truly understand the power of clarity<\/b> and know how to use it to their advantage. Alexander Daniels Global is one of them.<\/p>\n

\u201cEven though the manufacturing industry advocates automation at all levels, people and teams remain the most valuable assets of companies,\u201d said Nick Pearce, CEO of Alexander Daniels Global.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The question of how to build a winning team in additive manufacturing<\/b> is becoming the highest priority for AM company leaders who are focused on conquering specific verticals with their AM machines, materials and software.<\/p>\n

Clarity in F1<\/h2>\n

In January 2020, Alexander Daniels Global is spotlighting one of the key adopter sectors for AM: the automotive<\/a> industry. The industry\u2014one of the sectors powering the additive manufacturing market\u2014requires employees with both experience and talent. To be truly successful, however, it also requires a clear structure within its teams.<\/p>\n

We can look to Formula 1 for a tangible example. F1 teams are leading the way in how high performance is achieved in a team setting. For example, when Mercedes became number 1 in Shanghai last year, a commentator asked Christian Danner, a former F1 champion who raced with Senna, if it\u2019s really fair that Mercedes is number 1?<\/p>\n

His response was categorically yes and he attributes this to a very clear structure<\/b> in their organization. He explained that they embrace a form of creative conflict, where the team members are encouraged to point out mistakes and give constructive feedback without having to worry that they hurt each other. In such a high pressure environment<\/a>, I can only imagine how people shout at each other, yet they developed a way in which they communicate effectively and can rapidly fix mistakes together. And we all know how crucial speed is in F1.<\/p>\n

If people in your team feel they can\u2019t point out mistakes or flag issues to each other because they fear conflict or passive aggressive responses from colleagues, that ultimately hurts results and your company goals. Walking on eggshells creates too much pressure that will inevitably explode after a while.<\/p>\n

How would communication and productivity improve in your organization if you create a safe environment<\/a> in which you teach creative conflict to your teams?<\/p>\n
