Your references to a supportive organization you worked in and your expressed concern that you received feedback rarely from leadership. I appreciate your succinct summation of the eight characteristics of team excellence followed by the four processes that teams need to have. You\u2019re fortunate in having what you call \u201ca compelling purpose\u201d and your team\u2019s \u201cunited commitment.\u201d I believe that among the components of team leadership that the goal or purpose or vision of the team being front and foremost is crucial to a team\u2019s success. You also refer to the \u201csupportive organizational context\u201d in which you worked. It is evident that this leadership component allowed you to build your team and supplied the team with the resources to be successful over a long period of time. Any organization that is not supportive of a team and supplied resources dooms the team to failure. Having outside support of the team is often outside the influence of the leader\u2019s ability to acquire. It is predicated on the culture and decision of the organization. Lastly, you refer to the benefit of feedback. In my experience in Christina organizations, feedback is infrequent and I feel that feedback is often perceived as being critical, unsupportive and \u201cun-Christian.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Your experience with a lack of feedback from your superiors highlights to me the importance of feedback to not only growth within the position but also with maintaining morale. Thank you for the reminder that leadership isn&#8217;t just about getting a job done but also making sure people want to keep doing the job.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Learning Activity 1 &#8211; Team Leadership I read your post with interest because of your frequent references to a compelling purpose in your workplace.
