Actually, there are a number of jobs
that I have done and at one time, I was placed as the team leader in a small
project management firm. In accordance with the management, it was not
ineffective to have dissent in the team. Due to it, the management of team
became quite difficult for me. In fact, there was a time when the team was
unable to produce the desired results. The practice of dissent caused team
members to have their own ideas and they worked upon these ideas without
sharing them. This caused the team to have different outcomes which were not
useful at all. It only had an adverse influence on the workforce efficiency.
Think of a leader you know. Which model of leadership
best describes his or her behaviour? Please be specific in your answer.
John Paul Dejoria is quite a famous
leader and I have been inspired by him. His leadership and behaviour are
explained precisely by the Vroom-Jogo Leadership model. The reason why this
model fits John Paul is because he changes his leadership behaviouraccording to
the situations. With the use of this model, John makes different decisions
which are suitable for the specific situation for which they are made.
Therefore, it can be said that the behaviour of John can be explained perfectly
by the Vroom-Jogo Leadership model.
What were are the key problems facing Qantas?
Some of the major problems which are
faced by Qantas include ineffective resolution of problems, mistrust, lack of
communication, and lack of collaboration among executives. Due to it, the
organisational efficiency is being influenced significantly. Even though the
issues are minor and they are not complicated, executives are unable to resolve
these issues. The team members are quite competent and they have a lot of
experience. However, they do not have the necessary collaboration which is
needed for the resolution of issues and development of efficiency.
What do you recommend Qantas do and why? When making
your recommendation consider the following: the timing, the messages
themselves, the medium, and the frequency of the messages.
Qantas should ensure that effective communication is developed among
the team members as it would serve to help them in sharing their views and
developing a mutual sense of responsibility. For the first three weeks, communication
initiatives should be implemented and in the last week, the results of
communication should be recorded and evaluated. The message should be to
communicate with each other and consider the opinions of others. Collaboration
should also be conveyed to the team members.
Why is the team
having trouble coordinating and sharing information? Why aren’t they able to
work together?
Other than the
duties and the responsibilities that are not clearly explained in the
executives members of the team that could be based on the performance of the
each team member in the team work. CEO is also blamed for employing excess of
the workforce that is excess over the requirements that’s why company have to
face problem of over efficiency. There is also issue causing an absence of
execution and knowledge about the skills that are required in the comp-any work.
Similarly, there was question in all the divisions with each feeling that they should
not communicate their information to different offices or the companies. The
dependence of the offices on the CEO to offer different management programs
prompted poor compromise as the CEO also was not in acceptable terms with
certain work of departments. Furthermore, the collaboration didn't exist in the
work, and all representatives focused on working freely, which is unbelievable
in any organization since capacities are dependent on one another. It is
significant that the CEO was the sole supplier of giving directions and
strategies, as saw in the progress from Carlock to Howell to deal with the
organizational issues. In this way, every one of these issues could be viewed
as at the appointed time one significant risk that could be mitigate. This
hazard is underperformance and business disappointments could lead to the poor
performance.
What about Barker himself? What does he need about his
own behaviour to make the team more effective?
The CEO of company
Camron Barker had expected the job of the sole leader and considered that all
the responsibilities have to fulfil by him and he had to more compatible that
he could get the desired position in the market. He never counselled his
official authority really taking shape of choices and he could handle all the
matters according to his wills but he considered whole team as efficient that
all could give better opinion on different issues. He accepted that he had the
best thoughts and that they were not defective but also other members are
eligible to make better choices in the decision making. He gave rules and
headings to the labourers concerning the obligations they expected to perform.
Appointing all representatives their assignments caused absence of attachment
as each focused on working freely in this way, all the workforce work
efficiently in the project. He never permitted the representatives to converse
with one another as they accomplished their work or to change the work
according to illogical perspective. This prompted brokenness and poor business
execution and helps Barker to lead his team effectively. His friendly and trust
showing behaviour urges the workers to work diligently in the project as all it
could be possible due to the help of his behaviour.
