WHAT IS LEADERSHIP? LEADERSHIP IS LIKE SWIMMING, IT CAN’T BE DONE BY READING ABOUT IT.
Team Leadership Teams are organizational groups composed of members who are interdependent, who share common goals, and who must coordinate their activities to accomplish those goals.
Accomplishing Goals Begins with the leader’s mental model of the situation.
Functions of an Effective Team Leader Build the team Foster and promote positive relationships among team members Focus on the task at hand
Tasks START BY DOING WHAT IS NECESSARY, THEN WHAT IS POSSIBLE, AND SUDDENLY YOU’RE DOING THE IMPOSSIBLE. Francis of Assisi
Developing an Effective Team Create a positive climate Solve interpersonal problems Satisfy members’ needs Develop cohesion among team members
Achieving the Task Outline a plan Get the resources Make decisions Solve problems Adapt to changes
Teams that have clear goals and standards, effective structure, and efficient decision making will have higher task accomplishment.
Teams that can manage conflict, collaborate well together, and build commitment will have good relationships.
Teams that are well connected to and protected from their environment will also be more productive.
To be an effective leader, one needs to respond with the action that is required of the situation.
