  4. Interview • What is relationship between a leader and their team? How should a leader act in times of collaborative trouble? • “A leader in a team faces problems with each project and has a position full of responsibility to make chances for his team members to achieve their professional ambitions. Future leaders should be sure that they have a sense of responsibility for facing all problems in their projects. Varied experience in building problem-solving and problem collaboration into your team will effect how you act under certain situations. I would suggest to establish a track record of being able to identify and deal with problems. Encourage your team members to bring their concerns forward. Explain to them how important it is to bring any problems forward and encourage them to offer solutions as well. I, as a leader, try to address them immediately by examining myself and see if I’m lacking first.” • What does effective teamwork consist of? • “When becoming a participant in teamwork, team members need both parties to cooperate or coordinate to make a systematical team framework. Within the team framework, you should show an enthusiasm towards working, an enjoyment of the collaborative benefits and positive feelings about being part of a larger team. I continuously try to improve behaviors in communication with my team members as well as colleagues via discussion activities in order to make friendlier and a more effective work environment. Moreover, I try to build the team’s spirit and enthusiasm, and encourage team members to support each other for development of teamwork. We have to keep the people we are collaborating for in mind.” Jose Marcano- Teacher/ Coach/ Assistant Principle
