Norm, you covered several different topics in your post and I found it very interesting to read. I was thinking about writing my post this week on Durant\u2019s chapter so I read yours with added interest, to see how you analyzed it. I also liked your question, however I feel that Durant would ultimately say no, seeing how fulfilling it was for him to have that \u201cgood family life\u201d (Watson, 1986, pg. 246). <\/p>\n
As you transitioned into team dynamics, I definitely agree with you on the importance of a leader to be happy or at least, \u201ca satisfied person\u201d (Beange, 2018). In my experience, I have worked with several leaders that have clearly not been happy for various reasons. Although they were reasonably effective as leaders, I feel that they did not maximize their effectiveness due to their underlying issues. <\/p>\n
Using the importance of a satisfied leader as a backdrop for discussing constructive controversy was my favourite part of the post. I find that I don\u2019t use constructive controversy that much in my field, so I really enjoyed your reminder of how useful it can be in a team dynamic. At times, my work can get emotionally charged and the point you make about it releasing energy appealed to me, and I made a note to try and implement it in the near future. <\/p>\n
