Leadership
Question 1
It is notable in the case that Dr. Wood is not having a healthy working relationship with his team of researchers just as the tittle of the case suggests. It is not worthwhile laying the blame on either Dr. Wood or his team of researchers. There are a number of problems that necessitated a strenuous working environment between Wood and hid team. These are insufficient funds, the nature of the task and time pressures. However, Dr. Wood decided to personalize these problems yet they were affecting the entire team. Personalizing the problem made him emotional thus aggravating the negative effects of the situation. As a leader, he was expected to have a good grasp of the pressures that were facing them in implementing the project. He needed to take thee challenges positively and encourage the team to work harder rather than negatively critiquing the efforts of his team. All the team were working under thee prevalent conditions. Furthermore, the team was working harder despite the fact that they were going to be underpaid as was the situation. According to his relations with the team, the prevailing conditions and thee pace of implementation, the project they are working on has a high likelihood of failing.
Question 2
As explained in the case, Dr. Wood is a very effective researcher who is well experienced and has a good record in research work. He has been able to accomplish many research projects and has been termed as being a genius in research work. Skill is one of the most important qualities of a leader. A leader must be knowledgeable in the field that he is leading. Despite the fact that he is very knowledgeable and a good architect in research work, I believe that he lacks other leadership skills to complement his knowledge and research skills. This is vindicated in the way he treats his research team. He is not well acquainted with skills that can help him in responding positively to work pressures and constraints. I could say he does not have emotional intelligence which is one of the most vital skills of leadership more so in tasks that involve time pressures and many other constraints. He does not have empathy. He fails to empathise with his colleagues and personalizes problems in spite of the fact that they were facing similar challenges. He decides to point fingers at his colleagues instead of encouraging them to take the challenge positively and forge on with the work. He instead opts to utter bitter sentiments as being thee one carrying most of the load. He fails to appreciate thee efforts being made by his fellow researchers despite the many challenges like in sufficient payment. Encouraged would have given his research team more reason to work harder. He does not have good social skills which hinders unity and compatibility in work.
Question 3
From the case, I can conclude that Dr. Wood has a good grasp of skills of problem-solving. He also has knowledge and technical skills in the field of research. He has successfully conducted several researches. However, from the way he relates with his colleagues in this case, it is quite clear that he does not have a good grasp of the social judgement skills. In order to achieve harmony in his other working relationships, he has to develop his social judgement skills.
