1st dysfunction of a Team - The Absence of a Trust
      

The fear to be vulnerable with team members prevents the building of trust within the team. Vulnerability based trust. We have to help people get vulnerable. I’m sorry. I was wrong. I need your help. If just one member of the team has a problem with trust it affects the whole team. Whatever she said, people learned not to comment on. If someone did she would defend herself. We have to work with people to help them understand this. If you deal with this you can role up your sleeve and get work done faster, make decisions faster and better

.

        

The role of the leader is to be vulnerable. First, the leader has to set the stage by being open and vulnerable first. Can your people be smarter than you and be better than you? As leaders we have to understand the power of that. People will follow leaders into fire if they are honest, vulnerable and But you can’t fake it. If you are, you will be caught! Do not fake it. If it isn’t painful in the moment don’t do it. Trust is based on vulnerability. Why is it so important? Because, without trust we can’t go to the next level.

    I'm jet lagged and tired. My alarm goes off, a screeching "beep, beep, beep!" I get out of bed, turn the alarm off, and begin my routine - coffee, shower, flight suit, bag drag from the lobby to the crew bus. Once all bags are loaded onto the airplane, we head over to base operations for our crew brief. Crew brief is complete and its back to the aircraft, so I can refuel, inspect, and then take off. This is my life as a C-17A Flying Crew Chief (FCC) stationed at Travis AFB CA. You're a jack of all trades when you're an FCC. The C-17A is a large military transport aircraft. It performs strategic airlift missions, and transports troops and cargo throughout the world. When on these types of missions, I'm usually gone from one to two weeks depending on whats going on in the world. There was a mission that took us from California to South Carolina to pick up Mine Resistant Ambush Protected (MRAP) vehicles. We crew rested there before we started our…

    In the beginning of the semester our Team Leadership class was presented with the task to help make an organization’s team more effective. We had the freedom to choose who our desired organization could be and to observe them. After much thought and consideration, we chose to observe the Association of Information Technology Professionals, more commonly known as AITP. Our goal for this semester was to observe the AITP group and evaluate our findings to help them become more effective as a team. We would present our findings in a workshop setting, which would in turn, help them see areas where they can improve on.…

    The group originally chose the project on respect towards older people aimed at 15-19 year olds however, following a group discussion decided to change the project to recognising stress in carers. This was because the group felt that the carers topic was currently highlighted in the media and there was a large volume of literature available from a variety of sources. The group also felt that the respect towards elders project was quite a broad topic which could be interpreted in many different ways which may have been challenging to convey on a poster. The group preferred a poster over a leaflet as they felt it could reach a wider audience when placed anywhere rather than someone having to physically collect a leaflet. The group also thought a poster would be more eye catching, easier to read and concise for stressed busy carers who wouldn’t want to read large volumes of text. 152 words…

    Coach Bird has taught me that there will be times when, even the person in charge, needs someone to stand up and help keep things under control. Depending on the person, leadership can have different meaning, but to me leadership is when you take control of an issue and make it better. Ronald Reagan once said that, “The greatest leader is not necessarily the one who does the greatest things. He is the one that gets the people to do the greatest things.” (Indrapradja 2) With that being said, Coach Bird has also taught me about gaining trust. Without trust from others, how can anybody gain leadership? Trust is a powerful asset of leadership, one does not simply assume they have someone’s trust because of their title, but by gaining it through time and…

    Effective Teamwork

    • 696 Words
    • 2 Pages

    Teamwork is characterized by having a sense of purpose to achieve a clear, specific goal that all members believe is important to attain. A team can be assigned to carry out a specific project, such as seeking ways to improve profitability in a small business. A team could also be assembled to find the right candidate for a job opening. All teams should consist of members who are capable of contributing to the achievement of the goal based on their level of knowledge or expertise. If a team is assigned the task of development of an expense budget, but one or more of the members has little or no budgeting experience, the whole team will suffer as a result. A successful team contains a spirit of cooperation. All members need to work together to achieve the specific goal. This can be difficult, especially if some members possess strong personalities or are highly opinionated. Successful teams tend to have strong leaders who can keep everybody on the same page while keeping the petty bickering to a minimum. Teams should also have a set of rules that determines its operating procedures. These rules help to keep the team on track and eliminate ambiguities. For example, a team might have a rule that all team members must agree on a decision before it can be implemented. This would require that the team deliberate, much in the way of a trial jury, until a consensus is reached.…

    We need to know the importance of being a leader by example. If someone wants to be a real leader, that person has to show this characteristic. Bring people up in work areas, if someone's having a hard time encourage them, affect them in a positive way. I mean think Adolf Hitler had the leader traits, but he used those skills for negative doings. Do not just speak like a positive example, but also be a positive example by showing it, do the right thing when nobody's watching, when with friends do not let them trick anyone into…

    In Patric Lencioni’s book The Five Dysfunctions of a Team he talks about five key reasons teams often fail to work together, and ways to overcome these problems. The five dysfunctions include teams that do not trust each other, do not engage in productive conflict, can not commit to decisions, do not hold each other accountable, and teams do not focus on collective goals. These five dysfunctions are all linked together, and if your team becomes a victim of one the other four are soon to follow. The most important aspect of any successful team is trust. Many people find it hard to trust one another because they are unwilling to show their strength and weaknesses with each other.…

    Andrew Carnegie once said, “No man will make a great leader who wants to do it all himself or get all the credit for doing it.” Teamwork is the key component to achieving something great, if a leader wants to be great, his team must also be great. Ruling and dictating as one individual never leads to positive results. Authoritative leadership is less effective than collaborative leadership because fear and power create anarchy and dissent, while respect and decency create a harmonious society. This claim can be supported by Confucius, Machiavelli, Plato and Macbeth.…
