You have been recently promoted to lead a new division of Company XYZ. This company is known for its team-oriented atmosphere, and your boss has raved about some of your natural leadership qualities. Your first task is to assemble the best team possible from the potential candidates found below. An explanation of the skills–motivation matrix can be found on p. 39 in your textbook. Read each description, and provide the following information in a minimum three-page double-spaced document (not including the title and references pages):
Classify each team member into one of the four matrix areas.
Discuss the recommended action for each employee depending on his/her classification.
Distinguish if your role as the leader will be a facilitator, coach, or a combination of the two.
Examine which team competencies would benefit from shared leadership page 39,— Team Composition: Evaluating and Managing Team Members Based on Skills and Motivation High Low Provide incentives and use motivational techniques Share power and responsibility Provide training and develop skills Drop from team Low High Team Member’s Motivation Effective team leaders understand that the way they manage the team and individual team members is strongly influenced by the degree to which team members are skilled and motivated (see figure 3.1). In some instances, team members may not have the necessary skills or may not be properly motivated to work on the team. When team members are neither skilled nor motivated, team leaders may be wise to drop them from the team because the challenge of building their skills and motivating them is simply too daunting. When team members are skilled but not motivated, the team leader’s role is largely a motivational one. We have found that empowering skilled team members with greater responsibility for team tasks and performance can be an effective way to increase a team member’s commitment to the team and its goals. Naturally, it is preferable if team members are intrinsically rather than extrinsically motivated. In fact, when selecting someone for the team, try to determine to what extent the person has a passion and love for this kind of work and to what extent she or he is committed to the team goals. Finding people who are passionate about the work and inter- nally committed to the organization’s goals can save team leaders Team Member’s Skills: Technical and Interpersona
