I appreciated your honesty of deeply analyzing the problems in your team, and it is definitely not easy for the leader to confess they failed to see long-time results and possibilities. From my perspective, the most tricky part is not to find the balance to focus between short-term and long-term gains but to convince the rest of the team to be patient and confident towards the long-term gains. In my training experiences, adult learners are easier to understand there will be long-term results than teenagers for being more logical and possessing more knowledge. Also, they are more impulsive to see short-term results than adolescents as well. To find the reason behind the impatience, I had communicated with some trainees, and they gave me the answers with two main points. First, adults are more anxious about the rewards after they have invested personal effort. Unlike teenagers who believe their future must have various possibilities, adults tend to be more realistic and fast grasp what they can perceive and gain. Second, adult learners with abundant personal experiences not only prefer to believe themselves but also hard to accept others’ beliefs (Xiao Yang, Hong Zhi, & Yi Xuan, personal communication, March 14, 2018).<\/p>\n

However, I found out the most effective way was to build a collective mental model with them, such as team members, employees, and trainees, through constant communication. As leaders, we should acknowledge our team our own models “fall far short of\u00a0<\/span>representing the world fully<\/span>” and “that’s why we make mistakes” (Meadows, 2008, p. 94). Therefore, creating a collective mental model is to help us become better people and gain a more comprehensive view of the world. Additionally, we still need to invest in gaining positive short-term results to maintain the team’s confidence and cohesion. We need to be clear “effective leaders plan for short-term wins, they do not just hope for them” (DuFour & Burnette, 2002, p. 28).<\/p>\n

I hope you will find my response helpful.<\/p>\n
