I've noticed an interesting pattern in my management style. When I'm in a dysfunctional organiation, I have to focus so much energy shielding my people from the dysfunction that my team is generally self-organizing and fairly efficient. When I'm in a functional organization, I can spend more time on my team and I end up putting myself in the middle of everything rather having the team organize itself. I have to keep reminding myself to let the team members handle their own intra-team issues. In some ways it's a tougher assignment because I'm not just reacting to whatever ridiculous issues are coming out of the other groups.
