Introduction
Leadership is a very important skill which is not possessed by all; hardly very few people are blessed with this skill. Being a leader is not easy; it poses many challenges and the person who overcomes these challenges makes a successful leader. A leader instills confidence and provides motivation to the employees, motivation is an extremely important factor and motivation can easily transform an employee within no time. Once the transformation of the employee takes place, the goals of the company would become much easier to achieve. This is why motivation is considered to be one of the most important factors and almost all the companies look for new methods to motivate the employees and to bring out the best out of them. This paper will focus upon the analysis of team dynamics and a comprehensive understanding of the important aspects will be presented in this paper. Four Characters will be considered in this assignment and their views will be shared in the paper.
Analysis of Terminal Values
“Nothing matters more in winning than getting the right people on the field. Differentiation helps you do that.” (Welch Way, 29 January 2009). Getting the right people for the job is extremely important and the right people must be satisfied with their life in order to perform as expected. Let’s now consider the case of four people namely Eddie, Will, Trinita and Eric; the stats clearly show that Eddie is the most satisfied with his life the others are not as satisfied with their life as Eddie is. This will have an impact on their performance, in order to ensure the same does not happen, the other three members must be studied thoroughly well, one must find out what pleases them the most and in order to maximize their performance they must be well taken care of by the leader of the project for instance let’s suppose that Will gets pleased when he is presented chocolates, the leader should make note of this and present Will with chocolates every time he is having a bad patch, this will maximize the performance of Will and all will be benefitted by the same and this applies to the other unsatisfied members too. It is also seen from the stats that Eric is the most secured of all the four members, this is a very good sign, for any person to perform and develop in life security is the most important thing.
The other members who feel in secured must be assured that they are secured and the same can be done by talking to them and taking them into confidence, if the leader finds this difficult, the company can appoint a counselor, the initial expenditure might be more but it is very important to know that this is a long term investment which is bound to pay sweet results over a period of time.
Motivating Eddie, Will, Trinita and Eric
Motivation is one key term which can overcome all the challenges. Motivation is a very wonderful tool which can turn around anything which is perceived to be as difficult. Motivating the employees is a very tough job which every leader should undertake and complete successfully. Motivation can be of many types but the one type which works out the best is rewards. Rewarding the employees for their hard work gives them the confidence to achieve more than what they have achieved and for achieving some target; the most important thing is confidence. Without confidence no employee can ever perform for the organization and the confidence is boosted by rewarding the efforts of the employees. Rewards can often change the thinking of the employee for good, in the sense that rewards can provide the employees with enough motivation to achieve the goals of the company and if all the employees in an organization work towards the target only then the target can be achieved. So, all the employees should be rewarded at some stage or the other, for their efforts. If all the efforts of the employees go unnoticed by the leaders then they will surely tend to think that there is no use of working so hard and this will ultimately result in de-motivating the employees and from then on their contribution will reduce by a great extent. So to make sure that this does not happen a leader should make sure that the efforts of the employees should never go unnoticed.
Trinita Seems to have some important business apart from her job and this can be made out from her answer to the question “The most important thing that happens to me involve my present job” she strongly disagrees with this, she requires motivation but the most important thing is to know her concerns besides her job concerns. The leader must make a move and ask her problems, the whole team should stand by each other in thick and thin only then can an organization grow in the real sense. Her problems should be sorted and she should be motivated, the best way to do so is by appreciating her work and encouraging her to achieve much more than what she has achieved, this should be done in the presence of all the team members, this will be a big boost for her and she will be motivated to work her heart out.
Conclusion
If all the above methods are followed, all the four members will start performing to the maximum of their ability and the organization will grow as a unit and the same is the most important aspect.
