Steven HouManagement Skills Section 2Case #1: Harry and the Learning TeamThe problems occurring in the Learning Team #28In this case, there are two options: promote either the greater good of the team, in which Harry is ousted, or the greater good of the teammates, in which Harry is patiently borne along and expected to improve. In both scenarios, responsibility is defined differently. In the first, each member has a responsibility to himself first and then the teammates, and vice versa for the second scenario. In the first scenario, we see Adam Smiths economic concept of the Invisible Hand at play, in which each persons focus on his own interests consequently results in the most efficient outcome for the team. Harry would need to leave in this case, as he is dragging the team down. He could find a team that learns at a similar pace to his, or take some time off to study the material and retry the course, which may be more beneficial as it would allow the material to sink in. He wouldnt need to cram and barely pass the exam. In the second scenario, the teammates are responsible for their weakest link, Harry. Simply put, Harrys success depends on his teammates patience. Without it, hed fail. Responsibility is not always as clearly defined as one would hope it to be in a team. Neither is blame. Some may want to blame Dick and Jane for promoting the first scenario and showing less compassion for Harry. However, they have their own responsibilities as well, such as family. There is no single solution for this case, but compromise can always be made, if the team members so choose to do so.
