2A STRAINED RESEARCH TEAM
Answer to question 1:
Every leader in any kind of organization needs to follow some certain skill
approaches. Skill approach is basically the idea which is possessed by a leader that reflects
certain abilities and enables the leader to serve as guide head of a group of people under him
or referred to as a team (Shapiro & Stefkovich, 2016). The three skill model that is developed
by Robert Katz summarizes the technical, conceptual and human skill ability has an effect on

asses that Dr Wood currently being the principal investigator on a three year based research
on elder health care is very well known and renowned researcher of London (Noe,
Hollenbeck & Wright, 2017). He is the best researcher in the field of health education
research. He serves on national review and also the advisory boards. He also advises others
regarding research design and methodology questions. Despite of being such a competence
researcher who has the ability to see the big picture on research projects and completing them
with intense success and quality, Dr Woods lacks in having good leadership qualities. He has
often worked on the projects alone or with a maximum of one or two members extra on his
projects and researches. But in the current scenario where he is researching on the elder care
project, he is in charge of leading a team of total of 11 colleagues. The group consists of co-
investigators; there are two co-investigators along with four staff for intervention, and five
members are from the general staff category. This time Dr Woods faced problems in
managing such a big team. The team members are very dedicated and motivated towards the
