without him just because of its fewer efforts towards the teamwork. This scenario states the
lack of effective leadership skills (Chen, and Rybak, 2017).
Lack of Coordination
Decision making is a process which reflects the strong coordination of teamwork. But in this
case, John takes their own decision without any consultancy with the members. It
demotivates the team members which has a negative result because the team members did not
give their best towards the work. The whole scenario reflects the lack of coordination due to
the lack of effective leadership skills.
Causes of Macro Issues
Poor communication
Communication is a source to connect the team members with each other. It is a channel to
motivate the member towards the work. In the case, there is a huge lack of communication
between the leader and the team members. It is the responsibility of a leader to motivate the
employee towards the activities but in this case, the whole team is getting annoyed with their
leader. It reflects the lack of communication which is a major issue (Roberts, et al., 2014).
Lack of participation
In this case, it has been seen that the members participated in a team activity which is
organised but the leader did not put many efforts. It demotivates the other members which
reflect the negative result.
