Powerful thoughts...

Strategy: We as a team have to work together to create our strategy. The strategy provides the North Star for each person. : Work within budget, on time, high quality release.
Structure: Creating a structure that enables collaboration and provides clarity of roles and responsibilities. This is more than an organizational structure; it is creating a system so people can work together effectively and productively, in an environment that makes it possible for each person to give their best.
People: Choosing the right people for each role is critical, but insufficient. Even more important is empowering every person to be their best, to work with others, to be as creative as possible. It’s about providing each and every person with encouragement when they’ve done something amazing and constructive feedback when they are off track.
Team: While each individual is important, success requires a team. The team is more important than the needs or capabilities of any individual. This is what makes a team much more than the sum of the parts, and a joy to be part of.
Results: Results are built when people act with integrity and deliver their best. Results are all about the positive impact we have on the world – transforming personal lives and revolutionizing ways of doing business.

A new role that brings lots of challenges

I got a new role in my current team. First impression from me was 'Cool', 'Exciting' like a red cap thinks and then 'Can I do it?' 'hell lot of work' like black cap and then 'good to manage team', 'do something for team/client' like yellow cap, then started dreaming about creativity like green cap and then started collecting info quickly like white cap but unable to think like a BLUE cap from all of these context. See I am thinking like a manager - "Six Thinking Hats", I am inspired. But does that cap can help me in people management where I have seniors and juniors to make them part of all initiatives and challenges we have in future path to achieve all goals that customer has set for us. IT'S TOUGH really really tough and challenging.

Then I kept calm and pray the God to help me. As I am not thinking about personal goals which I know I can achieve; this is team goal and getting it done with all helping hands or discouraging hands will show me my real talent. It's another EXAM, i am preparing for - School thinking, and that's the basic thinking. Do we have any name for this kind of management or I am a fool preparing for bad result?
