New Views of Being a Leader
Leading as a Team
Managing vs. Leading
Groups vs. Teams
Discussion of What Makes a Team
What Happens with a Sucessful (Winning) Team (Examples)
Won every game
Boat speed increased
Now rowing together
Improved time during coordinated efforts
Won top award
Feelings of Winning Team (Examples)
Personal pride in team achievement and in the process that led to it
obligation no to disappoint other members of the team
committement and responsibility
- creates expectations to perform and not to cheapen the committment
- committment is selfless
strong urge to help out others in team
willingness to be helped
acceptance that burden is going to become unblanaced and the committement
to distribute burden more evenly
Leaders need to be willing not to have answers and be able to ask for help.
