Team Leadership Memo

Team Leadership Memo As of recently the company has decided to add a department to help the company’s strategic plan to enter a particular market segment. My manager has informed me that I will be leading a team in the new department that has already been assembled consisting of (names). For our team to be successful, we have to accomplish efficiently the goals set by the company. I have developed a strategy on how to lead this team based on our diverse group of women. I believe with our different personality traits that we should be successful in our future team goals. I have evaluated each team member’s personalities along with my own to see what is going to benefit the department and how to put my strategy together. A quote that seems
There are two traits that the team seems to share and they are ones that we need to work on to benefit the group. The first trait we share is that we are all introverted. We are shy and quiet and prefer to work alone. Which is one trait that could hurt us. We all need to work together. As well I want to encourage socialization and much collaboration within the group and outside the group. Getting feedback from other teammates and opinions from others will only benefit our group. Another trait is that we follow our intuition. We like to look at the whole picture jump into a solution and want to progress to the next problem without analyzing our decisions. I want us to be proud of our work and what we can accomplish together so with that we need to make sure that every detail is in order and what we all agree on. Therefore that said we have a few traits that are different which is actually going to benefit the team because it will make us more rounded. In the personality assessments it shows that there is a mixture of thinkers and feelers as well as judgers and perceivers. I think diversity in the traits is what makes good ideas and helps keep one another on our toes. Thinkers are more about getting the job done, unemotional, and know they are doing a good job. Where feelers worry about other people’s feelings besides their own and need that
I wanted to make sure I understood everyone’s personality traits and the culture elements that needed to be taken into account. They say “leadership is the process of leading a group and influencing that group to achieve its goals” (University of Phoenix). So to be an effective leader I plan on developing a democratic style approach. The style is “a leader who involved employees in decision making, delegated authority, and used feedback as an opportunity for coaching employees”(University of Phoenix). I want team members to have the opportunity to express opinions on the project as well be able to try to job positions throughout the team but also know that I will be the one to designate the jobs to each member. I plan to follow a charismatic-visionary leadership theory. “A charismatic leader is enthusiastic, self-confident leader whose personality and actions influence people to behave in certain ways” (University of Phoenix). All of those traits are something that I possess and hope to radiate to the
