For a long time, we have been taught that success comes from climbing a hierarchy. Titles, positions, and ranks were seen as the ultimate goals. The higher you went, the more important you were believed to be. But the world has changed. Today, problems are complex, systems move fast, and no one can do everything well alone. In this new reality, success is not about standing at the top of a ladder. Success is a team game. You need to address other’s interest to activate them into your team game.
Think of a football match. Every player has a role. Defenders protect, midfielders connect, and strikers turn teamwork into goals. Imagine a team where the captain insists on being the last person to score every goal. No matter how talented the captain is, the team will struggle.
Goals come from teamwork, trust, and correct positioning, not at all from hierarchy. The same rule applies to careers, institutions, organizations, and economies. What we need today is not rigid hierarchy, but clear roles working together. Creating safe and inspiring space for everyone is the job of the people at the top leadership. Creating an atmosphere of growth is the most important leadership quality today. Nurturing bright leadership is the need of the hour at every district in India. We are a nation with the largest growth potential out of demographic dividend.
Seven team roles are especially powerful in shaping this new growth paradigm. They are Action Dreamers, Best Communicators, Team Leaders, Event Managers, Video Editors, Script Writers, and Data Managers. Find them among your colleagues. Bring large number of students into the team game. You win the game in a big way.
Action Dreamers: Starting the Movement
Action Dreamers are the people who imagine better futures and take the first step toward them. They do not wait for permission or perfect conditions. They see problems and begin testing solutions immediately.
In traditional hierarchies, Action Dreamers are often blocked by slow approval systems. In team-based environments, they become powerful drivers of change. They bring energy, ideas, and courage. But like a striker in football, they need support from the rest of the team to score.
Alone, their effort is limited. Together, their ideas can move entire organizations forward. Keep Action Dreamers in your establishment at high esteem. You need at least 10% of your entire strength to be made effective Action Dreamers to become an institution of excellence. Rest everything is naturally set when there are Action Dreamers around.
Best Communicators: Keeping Everyone in the Game
Best Communicators make sure everyone understands the plan. They listen carefully and speak clearly. They reduce confusion and prevent unnecessary conflict. In our context; they are the people with positive probing questions to inspire everyone else to talk from their heart.
In rigid hierarchies, communication often flows only from the top to the down streams. This creates silence, fear, and misunderstanding. In a team game, communication flows in all directions.
Best Communicators help Action Dreamers be understood, help Team Leaders stay informed, and help everyone feel included. They are like midfielders who keep the ball moving and connect every part of the field. In Media Context; Best Communicators play a major role.
Team Leaders: Guiding Without Blocking
Team Leaders are often misunderstood. Leadership is not about controlling every move or taking all the credit. True Team Leaders focus on making others successful. In a healthy team, leaders do not insist on being the hero. Just like a football captain who supports the striker instead of competing with them, good leaders place people where they perform best.
They make decisions, resolve tension, and protect the team from chaos, but they do not block progress with ego. Strong leadership reduces the burnouts and builds trust. Weak leadership attempts to create fear and slows everything down. Trusting and trust building are very important for Team Leaders. They are transparent and aim collective growth.
Event Managers: Creating the Right Moments
Event Managers bring people together at the right time and in the right way. These events may be meetings, shootings, workshops, launches, or community gatherings. In many organizations, events are treated as formal obligations. In strong teams, events are opportunities.
Event Managers design opportunities to create memorable experiences that encourage collaboration, learning, and connection. They make things easier and better. They understand timing, flow, and more so about human behaviour. Just like a well-planned match, the environment they create allows everyone to perform better. Event Managers in our context is the people who bring people to come together and work together.
Video Editors: Shaping What People See and Feel
World is converging into Micro Systems. Meaning, there is an unseen turnaround from capital focus towards people involvement and Large-Scale Interactive Development Processes (LSIDP) in every stream of growth potential. Education, Healthcare, Tourism and Media are the four major Pillars that can construct a developed India.
We need Media to activate every other growth stream. Media is also a major stream of growth potential. We need to work on Self Sustainable Models in all streams. Video Editor is a major player in today’s growth mechanism. Story Telling is a powerful tool for communication. Video Editors in our context are people with basic editing skills. How stories are told and how attention is captured are all organised by Professional Video Editors and Graphics experts. The Video Editors are the Copy Paste people with basic skills. Two weeks training can make you to be a Video Editor. This will fetch you Additional Income (AI) over your Regular Income (RI). This is an opportunity for housewives as well.
Script Writers: Giving Ideas a Clear Voice
Script Writers bring structure to thoughts. They turn complex ideas into simple stories that people can understand and remember.
Without clear scripts, messages become scattered. With strong scripts, teams move with purpose. Script Writers help align everyone around a shared story. They are essential for videos, events, campaigns, and even internal communication. In a team game, a shared story keeps everyone focused on the same goal. Script writers come at the top of the team in setting standards and models and to take the idea into larger scales.
Data Managers: Connecting the Right People
Data Managers are the quiet coordinators of the team. Their role is to collect and organize information about people so the right connections can happen. They track people, skills, availability, performance, and collaboration patterns. They help leaders assign roles wisely, help communicators reach the right people, and help Action Dreamers find the right partners. Their work includes data collection, data analysis, and data management, but the goal is always human connection.
Without Data Managers, teams rely on guesses. With them, teams make informed decisions and avoid wasting talent.
Rethinking Hierarchy for the Future
Hierarchy is not the enemy. The problem arises when hierarchy blocks collaboration. When power matters more than purpose, teams fail. When leaders insist on being the final point of success, progress slows.
The future belongs to teams where roles are respected, information flows freely, and leadership supports rather than dominates. Just like in football, winning comes from passing the ball, trusting teammates, and playing your position well.
Success is a team game
When these seven roles work together without ego and without rigid hierarchy, they can transform people, economy, careers, organizations, and entire ecosystem. Become a link that connect the diamonds!
