Re: Discussion Question

According to Senge (2010) and the Fifth Discipline: The Art and Practice of the Learning Organization, teams that learn are made up of people who “see each other as colleagues” (p. 227), “develop a deep trust” (p. 230), “seek the common denominator in multiple individual views” (p. 231), and “develop a spirit of inquiry” (p. 244). A leader who understands how to bring out the best in teams can achieve extraordinary results. Senge also stated that those in senior leadership positions have mastered the art of understanding their own leadership styles and how those affect members of their organizations. How do a leader’s character and values affect creating a team-based organizational culture? Discuss the leadership challenge, and the role of ethics and trust, when creating and leading teams.
