Week 9-Leadership Critique

Critique your experiences with leadership in teams.

In an ideal work setting, team leadership could be reflective of the exercise that was conducted in class. Team leadership would consist of an analyst, synthesizer, definer, president, interpreter, and emotional stabilizer. One of the factors that affects team leadership is politics.
To me one of the key factors to team leadership is communication. A specific example at Mason relating to team leadership revolves around our Patriot Platoon activities committee. Our committee was brought together to manage and implement activities for the student group. Our committee consists of four members (1 student and 3 staff members). Even though this is a small leadership team it is affective in the responsibilities and roles we play.

To me one of the key issues relating to team leadership is goal achievement and accomplishment. I have not served on many leadership teams throughout my professional career. But the type of leadership team that I prefer to work and be involved on is one that all members are treated as equals. Everyones input is heard in a respective manner and a team that is run as a dictatorship my one individual.
