How does the leader communicate the vision? Is it effective
What action steps could improve communication of the team vision?
Alignment

Do individual team members possess goals or values that compete with or hinder attainment of the team vision/goals?
What action steps could improve team member alignment?
Paradigms
How would you describe the leader’s paradigm? Consider how he or she treats employees/followers. Does the leader demonstrate confidence, trust, or respect?
Has the leader ever demonstrated a paradigm shift? If so, what seems to have caused it? How did it affect the team? If not, what paradigm shift should the leader make?
Gather answers to the above questions. You might need to interview some team members, and you should do some research to help you formulate the necessary action steps. If you are the leader of the team, you should ask members of the team to help you develop answers to the questions.
Summarize your answers into a 3 to 4 page paper.
