Hypothetically, the decision-making steps involved in the team leadership model could be done by any member of the team. Under what conditions would a team need to have more than just the leader monitoring and intervening?
What will be an ideal response?
Ideally a team would have skilled members, all of whom could monitor the group's actions at all times. Any member might see a problem that needs to be addressed and decide to take an action. Such shared leadership would be particularly helpful in a team that has internal task and relational problems as well as external problems. The team leader might not be able to address all of the problems simultaneously. For example, team members might intervene internally to improve interpersonal problems while the leader focuses on intervening on the task issue. And together the leader and members could focus on dealing with the external problems. Team leaders do not always accurately diagnose team problems, and having team members also monitoring and taking requisite action can lead to greater effectiveness.
