I cannot claim to be an expert in diagnosing human behavior but one thing I have come to realize is that we all have different personalities. Just as we all have different finger prints, so are our traits. Therefore, it becomes a real challenge to manage people in any organization. It calls for a lot of tact and diplomacy to manage people effectively. But it has to be noted that when a group of people pull their efforts together they can accomplish a lot in a limited time. So the adage "two are better than one." As much as there are success stories of individuals who have come together and achieved great results, there are also groups that have had disastrous outcomes. Leaders usually determine the direction a group will take. A good leader reaches out and pulls everyone together, ensuring that all have a role to play in achieving the team's success. It is the duty of a leader to bring out the values of each team member and identify their weakness and strengths. Teams still under perform despite having all the necessary resources and this is mainly because members need to be encouraged. Therefore, to ensure a cohesive team a leader must find ways to motivate his/her team. "It is better to have a team rather than not have one at all," says Richard Hackman, professor of social and organizational psychology at Harvard University. A leader should avoid changing people's personalities and instead seek to know where to fit each person appropriately. Important to note is that in every group, there is always a critic; someone ready to speak something that others are not willing to express. These people keep everyone on toes by asking tough questions and hence compel team members to remain focused.
