Working alone one has the world to himself\/herself. One is totally isolated from the rigours of seeing the entire picture and y certain things are done the way they are done. In fact, most of them will even seem to be dead wrong but then that is the perspective from that position.<\/p>\n
I would even say, in some circumstances, ppl work best when left\u00a0 to work alone. But man is a social animal and whether we like it or not, we are part of the society. Doing work alone with total control on what one is doing is so simple.<\/p>\n
Getting work done is a wholly different challenge altogether. Understanding people chemistry, egos, needs, wants, etc and then making them work toward a common goal is something that ppl have written tomes on. Most solo heros shirk from doing this as they think they are not cut-out for it. It is not a flaw with them. Just that sometime, one has to take the lead role by default and start with it however painful it might be along the journey.<\/p>\n
Moreover, the sheer amount of trust that one puts in others hands too is a very big factor bcoz now, no one has the entire picture except for the guy delegating the task. Even the delegator for that matter, does not know the nitty-gritty of the work being done but knows just a basic loose outline sufficient to get the work done.<\/p>\n
People micromanage and manage to screw up things so bad that a perfectly good team breaks , a perfectly good heart breaks. At the same time, people over macro-manage and have similar results. Managing a team is a tightrope walk which needs a very high level of understanding of humans.<\/p>\n
It is frustrating at times but then that is how the things are. It requires a mixture of skills – anger, passion, impassioned-plea, laughter, judgement, sorrow, etc.<\/p>\n
