A summary of the CASE STUDY: THE TEAM THAT WASN’T (50 words)
There were many leaderships and team work problem faced by fine arts:
Fire Art struggles with multiple issues: a serious lack of motivation undermines team
efficiency and performance; conflicts among team members remain unresolved; Randy's
excessive criticism stifles input; unclear roles hinder collaboration; and a lack of mutual
understanding creates barriers, all contributing to the team's poor business results.
The FineArt team led by Eric faced significant challenges due to unclear roles and
responsibilities, leading to confusion and inefficiency. There was a lack of motivation,
which hindered performance and teamwork. Additionally, poor communication and
unresolved conflicts created an environment of frustration and disengagement. Team
members felt their contributions were undervalued, exacerbated by Randy’s excessive
criticism. This toxic atmosphere diminished collaboration, ultimately affecting the team’s
ability to deliver results and meet organizational goals.
Randy's excessive criticism and demeaning behavior discourage team members from
sharing ideas. His belief that brilliance comes from individuals rather than teams
Question I undermines collective effort and fosters resentment. This toxic leadership style creates a
culture of fear, stifling innovation and hindering the team's ability to function effectively.
Eric's failure to address Randy’s behaviour reflects a lack of decisive leadership. By not
facilitating conflict resolution or establishing clear roles, he enables a dysfunctional team
dynamic. His inability to inspire and engage the team contributes to a stagnant
environment where team members feel unsupported, exacerbating the overall challenges
faced by FireArt.
Short-term (1-3 months): (50 words)
Eric should conduct team-building activities to foster collaboration and trust among
members. He should also implement regular feedback sessions to address concerns and
conflicts openly. Additionally, Eric must clarify roles and responsibilities to ensure every
team member understands their contributions, enhancing accountability and
performance.
