A little about BattleField 2 and corporate management

As we’ve been playing quite a bit of BattleField 2, I started to draw some interesting parallels between the command and control system employed by BattleField 2 and corporate management. Team AlphaForce (http://teamalphaforce.blogspot.com) was playing a few nights ago for the first time together. We had the common sense to setup our own squad and began attacking random targets. After about 15 minutes of futility of dying repeated deaths, we decided to concentrate our efforts on one specific flag. This seemed to work better as it gave us a common goal of trying to take the same objective. But the problem was that we still lacked focus, each of us trying to rack up kills for ourselves instead of working as a team. Everytime we got to the flag, we’d be routinely outnumbered and unable to take the flag resulting in a death. After more frustration, we then organized ourselves a bit better by “specializing”, one being a medic, one an anti-tank soldier, one a sniper, one a support soldier, and the other an assault. We then planned our assault a bit more methodically with the medic and sniper teaming up. The goal was to keep the sniper alive who served as our squad leader and mobile spawn point. The sniper would call out enemies that he saw through his scope and passed the info along to the others. The assault and anti-tank guys would work their way towards the flag, while the support soldier would cover them, with the medic roving around keeping everyone’s health up. Each member of the team now had specific orders that were clearly understood. Each member now also knew each others responsibilities and only focused on their domain. We were now organized and had a plan. The sniper would now call for UAV support and artillery from the commander to support our advance. After only a few minutes, we had the flag that had eluded us for over 30 minutes and moved on, taking two more flags before the round was over. While we did continue to struggle, it was clear that working as a true team with a clear objective, clearly defined roles, and a good game plan made all the difference as the squad score at the end of the round was over 3 times that of the others with members of our squad earning the gold, silver, and bronze stars. Have any of you ever experienced this in the corporate management?
