Effective teamwork is perhaps one of the most important aspects of leadership in the modern era. Yet motivating others to work as a team is no easy task. The team-oriented leader must possess a certain charisma, detailed introspection, and the trust to allow work to be done in freedom. Indeed, in the most successful organizations, empowerment and delegation characterize good teamwork. I personally possess many of these skills that allow me to work effectively in a team. I also have a powerful sense of vision, as I am able to see the big picture and plan ahead for whatever may come as a challenge. Furthermore, I can identify strengths and weaknesses in others, which allows me to help shape the delegation of teamwork. Finally, I bring a sense of humor and experience that can alleviate potentially stressful situations and ensure healthy conflict resolution. Of the necessary components of teamwork that are most important for any leader, I believe getting to know your teammates and clearly defining roles, responsibilities, and expectations for each one are the most crucial.
