Vision, Alignment and Paradigms

You will continue to examine your team by using the concepts from the readings and lectures. Consider the following categories and answer the questions:

Vision Statement

• Does your team have a vision statement? What is it?

• Ask the different members of the team, what the vision statement (or vision) for the team is. What results do you get?

• How does the leader communicate the vision? Is it effective?

• What action steps could improve communication of the team vision?

Alignment

• What evidence do you see that team members are or are not aligned to the team vision, mission, goals, and values?

• Do individual team members possess goals or values that compete with or hinder attainment of the team vision or goals?

• What action steps could improve team member's alignment?

Paradigms

• How would you describe the leaders' paradigm? Consider how he or she treats employees or followers. Does the leader demonstrate confidence, trust, or respect?

• Has the leader ever demonstrated a paradigm shift? If so, what seems to have caused it? How did it affect the team? If not, what paradigm shift should the leader make?
