As soon as your direct-reports experience your vision collectively, act swiftly to weld your collection of talented individuals into an energetic team.  Create a team-commitment, with the most powerful tool available to any leader, participative management. 

The process is quick, simple, and effective.  Here are the steps:

  1. Begin by informing everyone that change is necessary and that the operational model that the team has just experienced is one possible change before you and the team.  But, the decision to adopt this or any operational model can't be yours alone.  It has to be the team's decision, taken by a team-vote; your vote will be just one among many. 
  2. Make it crystal-clear to all that the vote will not be to test the new operational model.  It will be to adopt it immediately, completely, and permanently, as your company's way of doing business, or to discard it outright. 
  3. Give everyone an opportunity to share the perceived pros and cons, regarding the proposed operational model, and even to suggest a better operational model if a better one is known. 
  4. When all the opinions are heard, remind the members of your team once again that they are voting, either, to discard the proposed operational model or to adopt it immediately, completely, and permanently, as the company's way of doing business. 
  5. Take the vote.
  6. Accept the outcome.
