Answer:
What Happens to a Leaderless Team?
To discover exactly why teams require leadership we observed many teams when their leader wasn’t present. Here are the top five things we discovered:
Indecisiveness
The best leaders today empower their people to make decisions. However, when the leader isn’t present we found decisions typically don’t get made in a timely manner or at all without a leader. It’s as if the mere presence of the leader in the building or the knowledge that they could help, promoted people to make decisions.
Ethical Slips
Leaders build the values and behaviors of a team. Without a leader, there isn’t a standard to follow and team integrity eventually erodes. Since integrity is such a critical element of leadership, it makes sense that the values and ream integrity would erode with a leader’s presence.
Disorganization
Great leaders are excellent communicators. Without good communication, teams become disorganized, ineffective and disinterested. When a leader isn’t present teams begin to get disorganized. For some teams, they can withstand disorganization for a period of time but eventually, the lack of responsibility takes over unless one of the team members step up.
Fragmentation
Great leaders are able to harness everyone’s energy and abilities for the good of the team. Without this, teams break up into small cliques. The challenge is fragmentation can happen with a leader so teams become even more susceptible when a leader isn’t present.
No Vision
Great leaders have a vision of what they want to achieve. When a team is leaderless there isn’t a vision to be pursued or a collective goal to achieve. Often this leaves teams spinning their wheels working on things without a direction to head.
It’s simple, for teams to be efficient and effective they need leaders leading them. Would you want your favorite sports team to head into the season without a coach or the ship you’re on, to set sail without a captain? Of course not.
