What
The given book describes leadership through a case example, where a newly appointed
CEO first analyzed the organizational behavior silently, understand the team structure,
recognized suitability of internal environment, and identifies the traits that can help the
organization to achieve its objectives (Davies, Dodgson & Gann, 2016).
The foremost thing that I learned is, leadership require strong vision, clear approach to
integrate the team as “one”, and effective communication across the organization. To bring team
effectiveness in this context, it includes framing a trustworthy relationship, engaging in
constructive conflict, individual commitment to the framed plan of action, and focusing on
achievement of collective results (Lencioni, 2012).
The leadership example given by CEO of Decision Tech Inc. - Kathryn, is that
integration of individual team members require respect to support each other and involvement in
to accurate accountability are the key traits for achieving success for any organization.
So What
The absence of trust and fear of conflict are two major challenges, which inhibits the
potential of any organization (Razmerita, Kirchner & Nielsen, 2016). In my opinion, clear and
transparent communication as well as cooperation among the team members are the factors that
is essential for any organization to achieve optimal performativity. To develop trust, the team
culture should orient towards offering and acceptance of apologies without hesitation, asking for
help and feedback, admitting the weakness and mistakes, and focusing on important issues rather
than politics. Likewise the fear of conflict can be avoided by minimizing the internal politics and
extracting ideas of team members, with objective to include them in the decision-making
