Values and Vision - Blog topic 2

I do believe that I acted according to my belief that every team functions best when there is a single leader who should be followed during the blind square activity. One key value I have is to never give up, however during the exercise I noticed that all of us gave up at some point or the other. This may have been due to directions from multiple people trying to take charge and the activity itself getting prolonged.

As a leader I do believe that any task will be successful if the leader sets out with a definitive plan to achieve the goal and tracks the plan at every point in time of the project. I also believe that for a project to be successful, it is very necessary to ensure that the team members are going along with the plan without getting deviated. Also the leader has to ensure that the team members are very aware of the priority of the tasks and action items on the way to achieving the goal. The leader's task is to also set the priorities for the task which would be a part of the project plan he draws out.

During the blind square game, since there were team members who instantly took charge as a leader I was waiting for them to provide the above direction to all of us who were team members. I do believe that a few of the leaders were in the right track as per the vision defined above and thus the end result being a perfect square.
