Team leadership plays an important part in the ability of an organization to gain and maintain the competitive advantage. Another vital factor related to the development of a successful organization is teamwork. Most contemporary organizations are heavily dependent upon teams of workers to perform certain tasks for the organization. When teams are not able to come together to achieve a common goal the entire organization suffers. The problem with this particular organization has to do with the lack of leadership that is displayed amongst certain members of two particular teams. These leaders do not understand the needs of their teams, nor do they understand how to build successful teams. This lack of leadership is causing a great deal of disruption within the organization and the overall goals of the firm have not been met as a result of this disruption. The solution to the problem is twofold: the lack of team leadership must be addressed and the two teams should be combined to form a single team. The emphasis of this solution will be effective team building. It is proposed that the current team leaders be trained in team leadership or replaced by individuals who are more experienced. I believe that the former may be more feasible as this is a relatively young team and most members are inexperienced. It is also proposed that instead of having two teams, the teams should be combined to produce a single team. An input-output model of building a team and maintain the team could be utilized to rectify the problem this particular organization is encountering. Overall team building can be a rather difficult task. However the outcome of team building is the creation of a source of innovation within an organization that is extremely beneficial and difficult to create without the diversity of a team.
