I heard about this model from Michael Church, which I like. The idea is that there are three forces, you need to balance as a manager. 1. Your team. This is obvious. Acknowledge they are humans. You have to worry about them. Try to keep them happy and safe. 2. The Business. This is the cold-hearted inhumane entity which only considers the free market. You need to satisfy that beast, because otherwise everybody loses their jobs. It only wants to squeeze the maximum productivity out of its employees. Often its goal are in direct conflict to your teams goals. 3. The Organization. These are all the other people in the company. Your boss, collegues in other teams, etc. They have their own needs and agendas, usually different to The Business. Do not forget to consider these.
