...is a better way to work By Kathrin Tschiesche | January 11, 2013 This article is based on the free eBook “There’s no “I” in TEAM – Develop your teamwork skills” Teams are a fundamental part of working life. They account for the vast majority of work done in organisations. Yet it is one thing to create a team, but quite another to create a team that works. Just as it is one thing to join a team, but quite another to perform as a team member. To put it simply, teams do not work without teamwork and a well-oiled teamwork makes all the difference. Here you can take a look at the main benefits of teamwork. Why is teamwork important? Because it’s a better way to work! It: * 1. Creates synergy – where the sum is greater than the parts. Perhaps the most significant impact a team can have is the ability to achieve more together, than if each member worked individually. It’s in the combination of skills and expertise, when the skills of one member complement the skills of another, and compensates for each other’s weaknesses, that teamwork really works. * 2. Supports – a more empowered way of working. It helps to remove the constraints which may prevent someone from doing their job properly. Teams can hold themselves accountable, and often this positive peer pressure encourages people to take on responsibility and be pro-active. * 3. Promotes flatter and leaner structures – with less hierarchy. Teams have the capability of solving problems and making decisions together. When...

...WORKING WITH AND LEADING People ASSIGNMENT BRIEF The aim of this unit is to develop the skills and knowledge needed for working with and leading others, through understanding the importance of recruiting the right people for the job. So what is this thing of working with others to create something new? To create something which none of us could create on our own? To create something which is often more than the sum of the parts? Surely that’s what organizations do. But somehow I do not see many advertisements for leader of function, general leader, senior leader, corporate leader, leading director, chief executive leader, shop floor leader, finance leader. I do see advertisements for head of function, general manager, senior manager, corporate executive, managing director, chief executive officer, shop floor supervisor, and finance manager. Is it purely semantics? Just words, or is there a meaning behind the words? I think that there is meaning. And I think that there is a different meaning to leader and manager. And that there is a need for different types of leadership in different types of change. This means that there are actually fewer common threads in this chapter. So unlike other chapters, this assignment will separately address the different ways of leading the four main types of change. The aim of this unit is to develop the skills and knowledge needed for working with and leading others, through understanding the importance of recruiting the right people...

To lead, the reader by his personal conduct should lead by example, he should mean no when he says no vice versa, leader must do it the way they talk it. “It is not what the leaders says and writes that influences his surbordinate”. It is what he is and they judge what he is by what he does and how he behaves. Urwick, L.F (1947). The will to do is triggered by leadership, competency is required in leadership. Peter Drucker in his words quoted an effective leader is one who can make ordinary men do extraordinary things, make common people do uncommon things. Leadership means building of mans personality beyond its normal limitation, raising of man’s standard to higher performance.
