Who can be a leader?

Successful leaders appear to have little in common
besides success being the right person for the time
and place

The diversity of successful styles seems to be an


answer to the diversity of contexts and challenges

Does recent research suggest what successful


leaders may have in common?
What makes an effective executive? Peter Drucker 2004

Executives produce Results & Relationships

• They asked, “What needs to be done?”

• They asked, “What is right for the enterprise?”
• They developed action plans.
• They took responsibility for decisions.
• They took responsibility for communicating.
• They were focused on opportunities rather than
problems.
• They ran productive meetings.
• They thought and said “we” rather than “I.”

In Praise of Teamwork Alain de Botton

'We accept that it is, after all, no particular surprise that


we don’t naturally get on with certain types at the office,
yet it is via work that we can get to appreciate their merits
in a way we never would in a purely social setting. Through
teamwork, our egoism is submerged in a bigger loyalty: we
are held together by a shared goal which everyone knows
they could never accomplish in isolation'
Five Key Characteristics of Teams (Alderfer, 1977; Hackman, 1990)

1. Teams exist to achieve a shared goal.


2. Team members are interdependent
regarding some common goal.
3. Teams are bounded and stable over time.
4. Team members have the authority to
manage their own work and internal
processes.
5. Teams operate in a social system context.

What indicates Team Effectiveness?
Wageman & Lowe based on Hackman

1. The team’s output meets or exceeds the needs of those who use it. In
other words, all teams have some client or constituency that they
serve, whether internal or external to the organization, and it is the
client’s standards that matter in assessing team performance.

2. The team increases in capability as a consequence of its work. While


many teams are able to accomplish a short-term task, they can burn
out their energy, their relationships, and their ability to work together
as they do so. We consider a team to be effective to the extent that it
builds rather than undermines its collective capability.

3. The team contributes positively to the learning


and personal well-being of its members.
Conditions for team effectiveness
Wageman & Lowe based on Hackman

1 Real team. Real teams (a) have clear boundaries; (b) are interdependent
for some common purpose; and (c) have at least some stability of
membership, which gives members time and opportunity to learn how to
work together well.
2 Compelling purpose. The specification of the team’s overall purposes is
(a) challenging (which energizes members); (b) clear (which orients them to
their main purposes); and (c) consequential (which engages the full range of
their talents).
3 Right people. A well-composed team is one in which members have the
knowledge and skills needed to accomplish the team’s purpose, including
basic teamwork skills. They also are adequately diverse—neither so alike
that they cannot bring a range of perspectives to bear on the work, nor so
different they cannot understand each other.
Conditions for team effectiveness
Wageman & Lowe based on Hackman

4 Enabling structure.

Three structural features are key in fostering competent teamwork:

(a) Task design. The team task is a whole and meaningful piece of work for
which members have autonomy to exercise judgment about work
procedures, and that provides members with regular and trustworthy
data about how well the team is doing.
(b) Core norms of conduct. The team clearly and explicitly specifies both
those member behaviours that are especially valued and those that are
unacceptable.
(c) Team size. The team consists of a small but significant number of
individuals (i.e., 6–8) who each bring unique value to realizing the
team’s purpose.
Conditions for team effectiveness
Wageman & Lowe based on Hackman

5 Supportive organizational context.


In addition to the material resources needed for the work, three features of
the organizational context are especially consequential: (a) the reward
system provides positive consequences for excellent team performance; (b)
the educational system makes available technical assistance or training for
any aspects of the work for which members are not already knowledgeable,
skilled, or experienced; and (c) the information system provides the team
with whatever data and projections members need to select or invent
strategies for carrying out the work, that are fully appropriate for the team’s
task and situation.

6 Available, expert coaching. The team has available to it someone expert


in helping members make good use of their collective resources as they
work together.
Conditions and team coaching
Wageman & Lowe based on Hackman

1 Real team: Does this work need a team? Can there be a reasonably stable
group of members? How can they be kept together long enough for people
to learn to work with each other effectively?
2 Compelling purpose: What is the importance of this team to its clients
and to the organizational mission? What picture can be painted to allow the
members to see what success will look like?
3 Right people: Which team members with both the task skills and the
teamwork skills will be convened to accomplish those purposes?
4 Solid structure: Which norms and work practices will help them succeed?
5 Supportive organizational context: Which resources will they need? How
can team excellence be rewarded?
6 Team coaching: How will the team increase process gains and reduce
process losses on an ongoing basis? Who will coach the team?
“Although there is no guaranteed how-to recipe for building team
performance, we observed a number of approaches shared by
many successful teams.”
Katzenbach & Smith

1. Establish urgency, demanding performance standards, and direction.


2. Select members for skill and skill potential, not personality.
3. Pay particular attention to first meetings and actions.
4. Initial impressions always mean a great deal.
5. Set some clear rules of behaviour.
6. Set and seize upon a few immediate performance-oriented tasks and goals.
7. Challenge the group regularly with fresh facts and information.
8. Spend lots of time together.
9. Exploit the power of positive feedback, recognition, and reward.
