COMMUNITY LEADERS LEADERS’ ENCOUNTERED PROBLEM It is common for leaders to encounter problems. These problems measure the leadership skills of an individual. According to Nguyen (2010), the following are common problems encountered by communities regarding leadership: Absence of team identity – team identity is the members’ sense that they share a bond and a purpose, and absence of such is bad for the team Difficulty in making decisions – decision-making is difficult if it will only be decided based on concepts rather than on actual experiences, lessons, insights, reflections, and evaluation. A leader must base decisinos from experiences, right information, and complexities of the situation. Poor communication – effective relationship must be put into practice so as to achieve an effective communication. Communicating well is a key in having a better community or organization. LEADERS’ ENCOUNTERED PROBLEM Inability to resolve conflicts – conflict arises from differences among individuals. It is unhealthy for a community or an organization to be in conlfict and not be able to resolve it. Developing a clear process on conflict resolution will help a community to prevent unnecessary conflicts from escalating Lack of participation – this is a very common problem in groups and organizations. A group member may be shy, has low self-esteem, lacks interest or avoids any form of communication. Giving members a responsibility, valuing members’ inputs, assigning action items, and encouraging feedback can eliminate lack of participation Lack of creativity – In order to address lack of creativity, it is important to tell members that they may speak and do things freely, as long as it is for the completion of the task at hand. Absence of group thinking – new ideas are beneficial for a group’s well-being. The probel arises when some members do not embrace new ideas or has a mediocre thinking. Critical thinking enable one to take on an amount of information, sum up information, pick up theories or argunents, and communicate and justify the point of view he or she has taken.
