Leadership and Teamwork

I used to be a varsity player in high instruct and as in every chemical group or team, we concord our set of arguments as well. One time, two of my team mates were contention about macrocosm too irresponsible of not passing the ball to the other versus not passing the ball because the other one usually loses the ball in passing, consequently leading to countless turnovers, as well as, losing the opportunity to make points of course. Our game was already about to start but still they were still arguing over our previous games and the mistakes that we committed.Nobody would just give in, so I took the opportunity to lead them to a good, nice, and smooth conversation. I assisted them in communication well instead of scolding them both. I told them they should be achievement-oriented and focus on our current game instead of going over the past time and again. I similarly portrayed a very good font when the situation was incontrollable and one is most likely to protrude mad. Th ey saw this and realized they should not have done what they did. These two people are extremely good players if only their emotions will not affect them. We won that day simply because their arguments were settled shortly enough because of the influence of a very good leader. We also won because there was team rick.Personal Sense of Leadership and TeamworkI have a wiz of teamwork, of course. This is where roles are established, meaning functions, authority, accountability, and priorities are extremely considered and focused on making it easy to attain goals effectively (Teamwork, n.d.).No doubt, I have a sensory faculty of leadership as well. I strongly believe that a leader should be exceedingly good in communication (Clark, 1997). A classic example of a leader who happens to be extraordinary and brilliant in terms of communication is someone 1) who speaks to people as they are 2) who shows originality instead of emulating someone elses style 3) who presents himself as his/her own person and 4) who does his/her best to understand what others say, meaning, he/she who also try to walk in someone elses shoes, instead of exactly listening to how people articulate things (Clark, 1997).Yet another example is this A leader will listen and try to understand an employees explanation as to why he/she was absent, instead of just merely listening but will not try to be considerate and punish the employee immediately after(prenominal) (Clark, 1997). Allow me to reiterate that, Communication is one of the most needed characteristic if one is to become a leader (Clark, 1997).For instance, If you exhibit rudeness to your members/subordinates, for sure, you will never have the credibility that you ought to have to be respected and if you do not know how to communicate properly, you will never be able to attain being a leader (Clark, 1997). This is why when I lead I articulate myself properly and never in a rude manner (Clark, 1997).I also believe that a leader should c onsistently guide the team members (Clark, 1997). For example, I should guide the members to become achievement-oriented as well (Clark, 1997). It may be carried out through and through the following 1) I should set challenges for followers to pursue 2) I should show confidence in the members ability to meet their expectation and perform at their highest aim 3) I should guide a member who suffers from a lack of job challenge4) I should provide followers an idea as to what are pass judgment of them and how to perform their tasks especially if the member of the team asked for it 5) I should be approachable and accommodating enough to enhance the confidence of members etc as well as 6) I should incorporate the members suggestions, if any, into the final decision (Clark, 1997). I keep myself aware of the importance of having the heart to be open to my followers (Clark, 1997).In increase to the aforementioned, I also believe that I should inspire trust instead of being dependent on co ntrol (Clark, 1997). I should know that a group leader, for instance, should not always direct his or her member on what to do, he or she should have full confidence on the members and will just get back to them when they are ready with the results instead of supervising members from time to time and nagging them on what is morally wrong or right or pull down what systematic process to choose etc (Clark, 1997).Trust, is a very important characteristic of a leader, this way the members of the team will be more inspired to work as a group since their leader has full confidence on them (Clark, 1997).ReferencesClark, D.
