Response to Pierre’s Post 3.1- Strategic leadership Teams-HC 1- LDRS 501
Thank you, Pierre, for sharing your valuable experience that provokes thoughts to share.
Building team is a real challenge the leaders take into their considerations. It reflects on the leadership style, relationships with each employee in the team, interrelationships among the employee.
Fostering teamwork is critical for strategic leadership development (Lepsinger, 2014) and Its influence on team effectiveness considered as a qualitative measure for the leaders in a leadership context when team members are the assessors. Therefore, the two elements that anticipate to the overall team are trust and cooperation (Lepsinger, 2010), and can be encouraged by modeling them among members of the team. Captivating the relationships of team members established among themselves are important as those relations established with their leader in the leadership context.
Living the emotional turmoil of what happened in the past and causing more damages; thus, affecting the communication, moral, and productivity of the team. Therefore, leaders being sensitive to the frustration that can mount when the team is not achieving consensus and expectations can be resolved by recognizing the importance of delegating a problem-solving task, increase involvement, envision the potential in the team members, and praise the positive energy (Lepsinger, 2010).
On the other hand, the composition of the team is crucial to its success (Galbraith, Hughes, Beatty, & Dinwoodie, 2014) when considering an overall sense of the team and their values. My question her will be, do my team understand why they are participating in the team?. In my opinion, Its is a critical question to shed light on when dealing with an overall sense of the team. It is the role of leadership to exert these understandings and bring the importance of team collaboration to the life.
