The backside of good leadership means a leader does what is best for the team and the organization – regardless of who gets credit – and regardless of the recognition. Finally, they make sure the team operates with a plan. The team receives more from the leader than the leader takes from the team.

In a similar way it is with a team or organization when the leader forgets people are trying to follow. While the leader ultimately sets the speed of the team, good leaders allow others on the team help set the pace. They share leadership across the team.

That may point to another area of struggle for me personally – and a character flaw – I’m seldom satisfied with me or where we are as a team. I get frustrated when people have to have things “their way” It destroys any hope of a healthy team when people are only thinking of their personal wishes.

In each life cycle the most successful organizations I have been a part of had a team skilled at three separate functions. BTW, every team needs these people to be successful.). But on successful teams, all three are operating together within a life cycle. I have written about organizational life cycles before.

Our team suffers. I’ve learned I’m not very helpful to the team when I’m extremely tired. Many leaders try to operate from an exhausted position and never realize they are the problem on the team. Most likely the team already knows it. I display less patience and get frustrated easily.

What makes up a healthy team? Obviously this is our goal if we lead or even serve on a team. Who would want to serve on an unhealthy team? It may be a permanent team or a temporary team, but we’ve all served on teams, which simply weren’t productive. The team didn’t gel as a group.

Not every endeavor or project calls for collaboration, just like in a team-based organization, not every project requires a team. Of course, there were some great books such as those by Morton Hansen, Amy Edmondson, and Ron Ricci. But mostly collaboration was talked about in books focusing on teams. They were at a loss.

Chances are, if you’ve served on very many teams, you’ve served on one which is dysfunctional. There are no perfect teams. If you have been on a dysfunctional team you’ve probably seen one or more of of the common traits. Team members never feel valued or appreciated. Again, there are no perfect teams.

But they are also willing to acknowledge when a team member is no longer a good fit for the team and, as graciously as possible, move forward without them. I have a few thoughts. Move forward by faith.

A dysfunctional team in simple terms is one that cannot operate at peak efficiency and performance because of a combination of negative characteristics. How many of these can you currently see on your team?

I think it makes the team stronger. How do you take back a delegated project without causing hurt feelings, injuring a valued team member, or causing disruption in the organization? The culture of a healthy organization has everyone operating as a team. I’m a fan of delegation. I certainly love to delegate.

Folks often preach the value of teams and try to instill teams in their churches, all the while cheerleading and propagating organizational cultural dynamics that squelch any possibility for those teams to thrive. Teams enjoy ample, planned time to stay connected and work jointly on problems.

It’s that way with a team or organization also. While the leader ultimately sets the pace, good leaders allow others on the team help set the pace for the team. They share leadership across the team. It’s more difficult to argue against the pace when the team helped to set it. almost every time.

Just like the people they lead, they become protective of the way things operate. Granted this takes creativity, especially when finances are stretched, but always hearing “we can’t afford that” or “we aren’t big enough to do that” is never motivating to a team. Again, I’d love to come help your team analyze and address some of these.

Great leaders lead all people under their care, not just those who agree with them. As much as some don’t want to hear this, there is an “I&# in team because teams are comprised of individuals. If you crush the individual character and spirit of those who form your team, how can your team operate at its best?

I’m steering our team towards a common, shared vision, but there are a myriad of opinions in how we accomplish the vision. Conflict is many times seen as a sign of unhealthiness on the team. I’ve learned, however, not to be afraid of conflict on a team. In fact, I think it can be healthy for the team if handled correctly.

So the first step to building an innovative team is to hire people interested in the problems you need to solve. Code-named “Project Aristotle,” the aim was to see what made successful teams tick. Interestingly, highly innovative teams can be safe for some ideas, but not for others. Promote psychological safety.
