Mastering Team Management: The MADD and MAP Approach for Optimal Performance

Join me at the CMO Alliance Conference on September 21, 2023, in San Francisco, where I'll delve into the art of managing diverse teams with varied personalities. In this session, we'll explore what I like calling the MADD (Motivate, Analyze, Delegate, Develop) and MAP (Mastery, Autonomy, People) management styles to unlock the full potential of your team and foster optimal performance. I have created these frameworks using my experience of more than a decade working at both startups and larger public companies. Hope this helps the old and the new managers in their journey to create world-class teams.

Introduction: The Challenge of Diverse Teams

In today's dynamic work landscape, diverse teams are the norm rather than the exception. With individuals bringing their unique perspectives, strengths, and personalities to the table, effective management has become a nuanced art. How can you harness this diversity to drive success and ensure every team member thrives? The answer lies in mastering the MADD and MAP management styles that I have created using my experience of more than a decade working at both startups and larger public companies.

3. Delegate (D): Delegation is a delicate balance. We'll discuss delegation philosophies and tactics that align tasks with individual strengths and growth opportunities. Successful delegation can unlock your team's full potential.
4. Develop (D): Investing in your team's development is a long-term strategy for success. We'll explore how I can actively contribute to the professional growth of my team members, fostering their progress and, in turn, my organization's success.

MAP: The Reasons Why I Do These.

I like to give my team a MAP to help navigate the corporate world. Let us look into the details.

1. Mastery (M): Moving forward, let's address mastery. Helping your team members achieve mastery in their roles is a vital component of effective leadership. I'll share insights into guiding team members towards continuous improvement and expertise.
