Talk:Managing Groups and Teams/Challenge ?

All, This question seems to have a lot in common with the "Bad Apple" question. IS that where you are heading? Jeremy


 * Jeremy, our actual Question is as follows
 * How do you deal with an ineffective team leader? What should a group do when they feel the group leadership is wrong, or when they feel the leader is making a bad decision? What should you do as a team member when you see your team leader is not working in the interest of the team, or is valuing their own success over the team success? What if the team leader is not giving a clear vision to the team? Should the group ask for the leader to step down if they don’t support or have confidence in this person? Or should the group go to somebody higher up and have that person deal with the group leader? If the group does choose to confront the leader, what is the best way to do so?
 * I'll go look through the site about the "Bad Apple" question to see if there is overlap, Cheers

Hi all - Quick question... Do you think this should be a separate chapter from the "Leadership" chapter, or should it be together? Just something to consider. PS. Great outline!

OK - I can see how your question differs from ours. Yours in more focused on the leadership, ours is focused on a more egalitarian team (Such as a group in a class writing a wikibook). =Jeremy=
