S01E21 - Leading in the Team Context (1 of 3)

Intrinsic First

In episode 21 of the Intrinsic First Leadership Podcast, we delve into the dynamics of team leadership, contrasting it with one-on-one interactions. We explore the distinctions between teams and groups, emphasizing the importance of interdependence and common goals in teams. The discussion revolves around the behaviors required for effective team leadership, highlighting focusing behaviors (such as chartering and goal-setting) and inspiring behaviors (like facilitating and conflict resolution). Drawing from personal experiences and observations, we illustrate examples of poor team dynamics and leadership challenges, stressing the need for trust, open communication, and structured meetings. The episode concludes with light-hearted jokes to lighten the mood.
