In crisis team leadership bends towards short-term specification of “just do it!” The concept of coaching & development is lost in the need do it, do it fast, do it my way.
Team norms that develop during a crisis are likely to be dysfunctional during periods of stability.
This change in team composition broke the inertia – stuckness that team and team leader had been unable to resolve.
A crisis demands action and provides clear direction for that action. In stability the tasks of the management team are ambiguous.
Strong directive leadership frequently is required in a crisis. Once stability is achieved a more cooperative style is useful.
The team’s previous good work created the need for it to change its approach & work style.
All work returns to two questions.
What am I doing here? and Who are you?
