Thank you, Pierre, for sharing your views on SLT. I liked the way you pointed out how teams doing excellent in their projects, might not be up to the mark as a strategic team. You discussed 3 questions from the STRAT survey (Hughes, Beatty and Dinwoodie, 2014) and drew results based on the situation in your team. I would like to share my thoughts for the first question, \u201cThese strategic leadership teams exhibit a high level of integrity\u201d (cited by Florendo, 2018) (Hughes, Dinwoodie, and Beatty, 2014). As I think about \u201cintegrity\u201d I think about \u201cvalues\u201d and I wonder if setting common values for the team affects the team\u2019s performance? Correct me if I am wrong but I think having common values might negatively affect the integrity of the team. In fact, the mission and vision are more crucial for the team to perform well and to be a strategic team. Each individual is different and for them, their own values are important. I believe, rather than restricting individual\u2019s actions through team values, one can enhance them by giving him\/her the freedom to choose and work according to his\/her own values. Moreover, as Lepsinger (2010) points out, there should not be two sets of values (p.17); if a team member has different values than that of the team, there is a possibility of him performing short. Also, having individual values would enable the team members to respect each others\u2019 decisions and effectively understand the \u201cwhy\u201d behind individual\u2019s actions. As pointed by Beatty, & Smith, 2013, one of the many challenges faced by the teams is disagreement on accepting the proposed change (as cited in Hughes, Dinwoodie, and Beatty, 2014, p.163). Might I say, it is because they find the team\u2019s actions aligned to the team values (even if their individual values do not) and here\u2019s where the \u201cintegrity\u201d is lost?<\/p>\n
