Discussion: Team Leader
Teams go through ups and downs and team leaders are expected to know how to handle both, to keep the team on task. Imagine you are the leader of a cross-functional work team whose goal is to find ways of lowering production costs. Your team of eight employees has become stuck in the storming stage. They disagree on how to approach the task, and they are starting to break apart and take sides.
With your fellow classmates discuss and answer the following questions:
• What can you do to help the team move forward?
• What should you as the team leader be focusing on?
