Introduction
WELCOME to the SIXTH Show of Season 5!

AS USUAL, I am really excited for today’s show – Why? Because today I will AGAIN be talking about YOU! Yes, YOU! The Good YOU, The Amazing YOU, the Incredible YOU, and a bit of the BAD YOU!

We all want to be Great Leaders in our life. It gives people a lot of satisfaction to be able to lead others and bring valuable changes. After learning to LEAD yourself, you are finally READY to LEAD OTHERS! Today, we start a series of three shows where we will be talking about TEAM LEADERSHIP!


TEAM – Leadership  I

SEGMENT 1 – Defining Success

Success is determined by a wide range of factors. 

When we are given a project or an assignment we are also usually given a metric to which we can gauge the success of it. 

Having a strong team will benefit any organization and will lead to more successes than not. 

A team is a group of individuals working together to achieve a goal. 

Teams can be temporary, or indefinite. 

When individuals share responsibility, the group as a whole can take advantage of the collective talent, knowledge, and experience of each team member to maximize their potential.

If you are not aware, you are nowhere!

SEGMENT TWO – Types of Teams

The Merriam Webster Dictionary defines a team as a number of persons associated together in work or activity.   Teams are formed for many purposes: project teams, ad-hoc teams, quality improvement teams, and task forces.  Sometimes the team is formed to work on a goal as an adjunct to a traditional hierarchy in an organization.  At other times, the team is designed to replace the hierarchy.

Several roles help to keep a team operating smoothly.

Role Responsibilities

Team Leader

• Moves the team to accomplish its task
• Provides a conducive environment for getting the work done (location, resources)
• Communicates with the team

Team Facilitator        

• Makes things happen with ease
• Helps the group with the process
• Enables the group to produce the "how" decisions

Note:  Facilitators may be members or non-members of the team.

Team Recorder        

• Writes down the team's key points, ideas and decisions
• Documents the team's process, discussions, and decisions

Time Keeper    •    

• Monitors how long the team is taking to accomplish its tasks
• Provides regular updates to the team on how well or poorly they are using their time
• Collaborates with the team leader, facilitator and others to determine new time schedules if the agenda has to be adjusted

Team Members         

• Display enthusiasm and commitment to the team's purpose
• Behave honestly; maintain confidential information behind closed doors
• Share responsibility; rotate through other team roles
• Share knowledge and expertise and do not withhold information
• Ask questions
• Respect the opinions and positions of others on the team, even if the person has an opposing view or different opinion

SEGMENT THREE – The First Stage of Team Development – Forming

What makes up a good team? 

Well, that question is open to interpretation, but we will start with the first step in the team building process which is forming. 

We will discuss what makes up that stage and how each person in the team fits into the process. 

When a new team forms, it concerns itself with becoming oriented.  It does this through testing.  It tests to discover the boundaries of interpersonal and task behavior. 

At the same time, the members are establishing dependency relationships with leaders, fellow team members, or any standards that existed when the group formed. 

The behaviors of orientation, testing, and dependence become the process called Forming.

Members behave independently when the team forms.   While there may be good will towards fellow members, unconditional trust is not yet possible.

SEGMENT FOUR – The Second Stage of Team Development – Storming


We will look at the Storming phase where the team focuses on their objective. 

This is the reason the team was created, and we will break down where the leaders and followers fit into this stage. 

Team members will now begin to fill certain rolls and the team is starting to come together

In the Storming phase, the team starts to address the objective(s), suggesting ideas.  It empowers itself to share leadership. 

Different ideas may compete for consideration, and if badly managed, this phase can be very destructive for the team.   Egos emerge and turf wars occur. In extreme cases, the team can become stuck in this phase. 


If a team is too focused on consensus, they may decide on a plan which is less effective to complete the task for the sake of the team. 

This carries its own set of challenges. It is essential that a team has strong facilitative leadership during this phase.

Team conflict is normal in this phase, and is a catalyst for creativity. But the leader must address any conflict immediately and directly so issues don't worsen. 

Once you understand two sides to an issue, you can help the team generate a win-win solution. 


Assertive communication is an important skill during this phase of the group's evolution.  It is also important to help team members continue to build trust.
