Shackleton: Teamwork

Teamwork is an essential factor in the success of a group of people or an organization. It is a virtue that successful and exemplary leaders possess and advocate among the subjects they lead (Rowe, 2007). In events organization especially, teamwork is a critical control issue, where the actions of one person or party could jeopardize or promote the success of the work of another person. Events follow a process that needs to be succinct and teamwork ensures the smooth operation of the various steps involved (Ingvaldsen, Holtskog, & Ringen, 2013). In the case of the Shackleton event, the teamwork exhibited was evidence of how essential teams are.
The team, first of all, had a leader that was assertive and instrumental to ensuring every person heeded to the demands of the job and did their part. The leader was also visionary, which is an essential virtue according to the Hill’s Team Leadership model (Braun, Peus, Weisweiler, & Frey, 2013). The management had goals that were clearly defined to give the team members a guide to making the process a success. The leader also imbibed the vision among the team members, making them believe in the vision as much as he did. The leader also inspired a variety of virtues that the team members needed to make the plan successful and the achievement of goals possible.
I would have tried to inspire the same principles amongst my team members. I would also have been assertive and a believer in my mission.

Moreover, I would have trusted in the ability of my team members to handle pressure and deliver results their own way. I would have also considered asking for help when there was needed. The help could come from external sources, which is sometimes what is needed to make a team achieve its mission.
