of this presentation.
I am deeply grateful to Paul.

10. Over-inflation of tires causes
Uneven tread wear
Decreased response
time when driving
Hitting a curb can cause the tire
to separate from the rim or explode
11. This risk increases in
hot weather
as the tires become
over-inflated with their
hot air content
12. So are over-inflated teams
Over-inflation of teams causes
Uneven tread wear
Decreased response time when driving to their goal
Hitting a curb can cause some team members to disengage
This risk increases in heated and
angry atmosphere of organizations.
16. Under inflation is equally harmful
This will cause
uneven tread wear
Will lead eventually to the wear
of the inner sidewall of the tire
17. Under inflation is equally harmful
This will cause
uneven tread wear
Will lead eventually to the wear
of the inner sidewall of the tire
Weakening of the entire structure of the tire

20. Tires have a shelf life.
In time the rubber loses its flexibility.
When it dries out, it will usually crack
Avoid old tires
21. Make sure old team members
do not lose their
flexibility and adaptability
Rearrange teams.
Better let teams self-organize
22. Deflation of tires may
not be avoidable
Nails and broken
glass are examples
23. Deflation of tires may
not be avoidable
Avoid driving over team
members who have broken
hearts or nail-like
characters
24. Deflation of tires may
not be avoidable
A team leader should
not also delay acting .
Else, the problem
aggravates with time.
25. Deflation of tires may
not be avoidable
Broken glass is problematic.
Discover their presence in
the tire by immersing it in
water to find the hole
caused by the glass
26. Deflation of tires may
not be avoidable
By the same token, immerse
your team in fluid works so
that you may discover
the “hole”.
27. Deflation of tires may
not be avoidable
Check the inner and outer sidewall of the tire
for problems such as the presence of bubbles
This could mean that you have broken a tire band
while suffering the flat, or simply damaged
the sidewall. This poses a serious safety threat
28. Deflation of tires may
not be avoidable
Watch out for bubble talks among
team members and act realizing
that this problem would become
unsolvable if not acted upon.
29. The metaphor- tires that are
inflated to specified pressure.
Inflate people with workload
above or below their “optimal
Zone” the performance goes
down, risk increases and
stress goes upward
30. The metaphor- tires that are
inflated to specified pressure.
Inflate people with workload
above or below their “optimal
Zone” the performance goes
down, risk increases and
stress goes upward
These result in de-motivating the staff.
The vicious spiral starts.
31. The optimal pressure level is dependent
on the tires, road conditions, tire specs.
Likewise; not all employees are the same.
We need to test not only by increasing
pressure on them, but equally important
by lowering pressure. Less workload, go
bird watching are just great examples of
lowering pressure and releasing “excess
unwanted air” inside the employees.
