[Working with the wrong TEAM]

The first question to mate with this heading is: what would you do if you were to realize that you're working with the wrong TEAM? What to do with the weakest link? Nothing is as painful as finding self in a situation where you have to constantly remind people why they're there with you and doing whatever it is that you're doing together in an organization.

Nothing demoralizes more than a team that does not work on what it's supposed to be doing, and be doing what they please to do. As a leader of such a collective, what are you to do? If your team isn't performing as per your mandate, you need to understand the dynamics of your space in the market with relation to their skills set, their hopes and dreams, their individual backgrounds, their sole personality and character, their product knowledge, their understanding of the brand and vision, and their support for one another.

After that, you'll have to interrogate your style of leadership, your method of recruitment, your mode of operation, the business model, and your relation to them both individually and collectively. A lot goes into making a team succeed and in some cases what leads the pack being how you make business against how you get business.

Together Each Achieve More, that's the mantra any leader should instill in their respective fields and organizations. One expert once said that there's no such thing as a wrong team in her vocab. She said a leader of an organization should know what kind of personality traits would be suitable for their objective and organizational culture for their entity. But that made sense to some extent, leaving vacuum for the leader who has no luxury of building a team from scratch. When you inherit a team it'll be thrice as hard directing that team to prospection.

In police force you are dead certain that if you're to get your desired result as a leader, the most effective solution is suspend the investigating officer and in their own time out of proving their mettle will solve the case in a timely manner even with limited resources. Though yielded good results, it says a lot about the stress the leader had until ending up resorting to such an angle, and that works only if you're having someone who is a fighter not a self victimizing quitter. But then, if it's in the corporate space a different story.

One good thing though that is a positive about a wrong team is that if given enough support and time with the correct tools they can turn out better. What a team as such needs is someone that'll guide it to where they're supposed to be, and but one certain is they can be best if put their energies on working at it.  

In conclusion: leadership is meant to be a circumquint experience that anyone in lead should feel, but if it is the opposite a sombre and exhaustive affair. And when faced with the wrong group you call a team, having to just be honest to self how much you're to lose should you force to keep it 'cause all it takes is correcting the wrong you've done, though should be sure where the mistake is.

If you're a visionary you need other vision bearers not revolutionaries to realize your dream materialization. Having such in the middle a risk to your success given the approach to execution. The bottom line is it's hard working with the wrong TEAM and what you choose to do with them left entirely to you in lead...dp
