Query:
STORY: Saddled with a Small Workplace Team? That's Okay, When
You Teach Your Workers Some Solid Multitasking Traits.
There's no doubt that when companies tighten their budgets, more
managers get stuck with leading smaller workplace team, while
expecting big results.
For managers, the key to success with smaller teams is to steer
staffers toward a "jack of all trades" mentality that
prioritizes multitasking.
Here are the specific tips and strategies that can help you
create your own multitasking "all-star" teams.
--- For this story, we're looking for tips on how managers can
get the most from workplace teams. We need these queries
answered for the piece:
Can a small workplace team succeed in keeping their companies
competitive? Why or why not?
What's the best "ingredients" for a smaller workplace team? What
talents and characteristics does it need to succeed?
What can managers do to get the most out of a smaller team? Any
tips and real world examples?
What is the biggest mistake(s) managers make when with small
teams?
How can manages convince business owners or C-level execs to
expand team numbers to increase the chances of success?
Is the "jack of all trades" workplace team strategy make-up a
good idea? Or should teams be comprised of specialists in one or
two areas? What's your take on the makeup of small teams and the
role of multi-taskers?
Thanks - you don't need to answer all the questions, but feel
free to do so. Appreciate the help.
Requirements:
Managers, management experts, workplace team experts, workplace
team members, managers who lead smaller workplace teams,
educators and entrepreurs.

Query:
Hi! I'm looking to speak to real estate agents and doctors who
have experienced or seen institutional racism in their careers.
In particular, I am looking for people who became doctors or
real estate agents and wanted to have a positive impact on their
communities, but eventually realized the system was unfair. Have
experiences with redlining/housing discrimination or medical
racism (example: med professionals not believing black patients,
giving them worse care, black maternal mortality rate, etc.)?
I'd like to hear from you. I'm interested in hearing about
experiences working in and working against the racism within the
systems you're employed in, how you might have been energized
toward reform, how fighting may have exhausted you--and
ultimately if you can see change happen with your work or if you
needed to leave it.
If this sounds like something you could help me out with even a
little bit, please reach out. Thanks!
