How does the team win, and how does it contribute to the broader organization’s success? How does the speaker define leadership? What gets the speaker excited about being a leader? What are the speaker’s key values? 16-4 Creating a Compelling Vision (continued) Figure 16.1: The Four Components of a Leadership Vision 16-5 Managing Conflict • Conflict occurs when opposing parties have interests or goals that appear to be incompatible, such as when team members: Have strong differences in values, beliefs, or goals Have high levels of task or lateral interdependence Are competing for scarce resources or rewards Are under high levels of stress Face uncertain or incompatible demands • Conflict also occurs when leaders’ actions are inconsistent with their stated goals and vision • Breakdowns in communication are the most important source of conflict 16-6 Managing Conflict (continued) The conflict resolution process is affected by several factors •The nature of the conflict – The size of an issue – The extent to which the problem is defined egocentrically – The existence of hidden agendas •Seeing a conflict situation in win–lose or zero-sum terms •Perceiving the conflict as unresolvable 16-7 Conflict Resolution Strategies Thomas described five conflict management approaches based on dimensions of cooperativeness vs uncooperativeness and assertiveness vs unassertiveness • Competition reflects a desire to achieve one’s own ends at the expense of someone else This is domination, also known as a win–lose orientation • Accommodation reflects a mirror image of competition— entirely giving in to someone else’s concerns without making any effort to achieve one’s own ends This is a tactic of appeasement 16-8 Conflict Resolution Strategies (continued) – Sharing is an approach that represents a compromise between domination and appeasement Both parties give up something, yet both parties get something – Collaboration reflects an effort to fully satisfy both parties This is a problem-solving approach that requires the integration of each party’s concerns – Avoidance involves indifference to the concerns of both parties It reflects a withdrawal from or neglect of any party’s interests 16-9 Five Conflict Handling Orientations – Resolution Strategies 16-10 Negotiation Fisher and Ury developed negotiating tips 1.Prepare for the Negotiation: Considerable time should be spent in preparation for the negotiation 2.Separate the People from the Problem: Negotiations involve substantive issues and relationships 3.Focus on Interests, Not Positions: It is important to focus both on your counterpart’s interests (not position) and on your own interests (not position) 16-11 Diagnosing Performance Problems Performance = ƒ(Expectations x Capabilities x Opportunities x Motivation) •The model is a framework for understanding why a follower or team may not be performing up to expectations and what the leader can to improve the situation •Because it is a multiplicative rather than a compensatory model, a deficit in any component should result in a substantial decrement in performance that cannot be easily made up by increasing the other components 16-12 Components of the Model of Performance • ƒ(x) function: maps values of x to  ƒ(x) = 3x + • Expectations: Performance problems often occur because individuals or groups not understand what they are supposed to • Capabilities: Followers cannot always things just because they understand what they are supposed to Abilities and skills are the two components of capabilities • Opportunities: Followers may lack the opportunity to demonstrate acquired skills • Motivation: Will followers or groups choose to perform or exhibit the level of effort necessary to accomplish a task? 16-13 Team Building at the Top Executive teams are similar to other types of teams but different in two ways 1.Most top teams never function as a whole, so when a situation arises, team members must use their individual skills and high-performance teamwork – Leaders must have the diagnostic skills to discern whether a challenge involves an individual situation or a team situation – Leaders must “stay the course” when a team situation is present 2.Executive teams have an opportunity to enhance teamwork throughout the organization, and only executive teams can change organizational systems 16-14 Tripwire Lessons Trip Wire 1: Call the performing unit a team but really manage members as individuals Trip Wire 2: Create an inappropriate authority balance Trip Wire 3: Assemble a large group of people, tell them in general terms what needs to be accomplished, and let them “work out the details” Trip Wire 4: Specify challenging team objectives, but skimp on organizational supports Trip Wire 5: Assume that members already have all the competence they need to work well as a team 16-15 Punishment • Punishment is the provision of an undesirable consequence or the withdrawal of a desirable consequence, which in turn decreases the likelihood that a particular behavior will be repeated • Arvey and Ivancevich reviewed three myths about punishment Punishment results in undesirable emotional side effects on the part of the recipient Punishment is unethical and inhumane Punishment rarely works anyway 16-16 Administering Punishment To make punishment effective, leaders should: •Recognize their bias toward internal attributions •Gather as many facts as possible before deciding whether to administer punishment •Focus on the act, not the person •Be consistent across both behaviors and leaders •Clarify the rationale and identify the future consequences of misbehavior •Provide guidance about how to improve 16-17 ... is affected by several factors The nature of the conflict – The size of an issue – The extent to which the problem is defined egocentrically – The existence of hidden agendas •Seeing a conflict... easily made up by increasing the other components 16- 12 Components of the Model of Performance • ƒ(x) function: maps values of x to  ƒ(x) = 3x + • Expectations: Performance problems often occur... about being a leader?
