Team story: How regenerative braking concept is used in Ops projects?

My wife zips around on her scooter like a rocket. Recently, her TVS Jupiter dropped its silencer while she was riding, possibly to shed some weight and comply with her command for more speed. 😄😄 Given that TVS Jupiter was 10 years old, we decided to buy a new one. We chose the e-scooter Ather Rizta for its comfort and unique "magic twist" feature. By twisting the throttle upward, regenerative braking is engaged, recharging the battery. In contrast, petrol-powered scooters require manual braking to slow down.

Similarly, I discovered the "magic twist" concept in team management at ZS for ops projects. 

> New team member onboarding is like braking of petrol powered scooter: Long-term knowledge is crucial, and when a team member leaves, their tacit knowledge goes with them. Bringing a new team member up to speed takes time, akin to hard braking that generates heat, followed by hard acceleration to return to normal speed.

> Knowledge sharing with an existing team member is like the regenerative braking of an e-scooter: In this team management approach, existing team members work closely with senior members on critical tasks. During normal times, senior members continuously onboard (regenerate) the existing team members, storing this knowledge as potential energy within the team. When a senior member leaves, this stored potential energy is utilized by the team member who has shadowed them to continue delivering the work.

If you are using this approach, please share your learnings. If not, give it a try!
