Leadership and Teamwork

I used to be a varsity player in high school and as in every(prenominal) group or police squad, we have our set of arguments as well. One clock, two of my team mates were lean ab let on being too haughty of non passing the clod to the other versus not passing the ball because the other one usually loses the ball in passing, whence leading to countless turnovers, as well as, losing the opportunity to make points of course. Our gimpy was already about to start but still they were still arguing over our previous games and the mistakes that we committed.Nobody would still give in, so I took the opportunity to lead them to a uncorrupted, nice, and smooth conversation. I assisted them in communicating well instead of scolding them both. I told them they should be achievement-oriented and tension on our current game instead of going over the erstwhile(prenominal) time and again. I alike portrayed a very good event when the situation was incontrollable and one is most likely to compress mad. They saying this and realized they should not have done what they did. These two people ar extremely good players if only their emotions will not affect them. We win that day simply because their arguments were settled soon enough because of the influence of a very good leader. We withal won because there was teamwork.Personal adept of Leadership and TeamworkI have a sense of teamwork, of course. This is where roles are established, message functions, authority, accountability, and priorities are extremely considered and focused on making it easy to impinge on goals effectively (Teamwork, n.d.).No doubt, I have a sense of leading 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 foothold of communication is mortal 1) who speaks to people as they are 2) who shows originality instead of emulating someone elses style 3) who presen ts himself as his/her own person and 4) who does his/her best to watch what others say, meaning, he/she who also try to walk in someone elses shoes, instead of merely listening to how people articulate things (Clark, 1997).Yet some other example is this A leader will listen and try to register 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 (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 credibleness that you ought to have to be respected and if you do not know how to bring aright, 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 shoul d consistently 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 the following 1) I should set challenges for followers to pursue 2) I should show presumption in the members ability to meet their expectation and make at their highest level 3) I should guide a member who suffers from a lack of job challenge4) I should provide followers an root as to what are expected 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 emotional state to be open to my followers (Clark, 1997).In addition to the aforementioned, I also believe that I should inspire trust instead of being mutualist on cont rol (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 ripe 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 even what systematic process to choose etc (Clark, 1997).Trust, is a very in-chief(postnominal) characteristic of a leader, this way the members of the team will be much inspired to work as a group since their leader has full confidence on them (Clark, 1997).ReferencesClark, D.
