Teamwork

Imagine that you are the CFO's representative at a major academic medical center and a member of a hospital project team assigned to develop a new pediatric oncology service line.

Your team is expected to develop a business plan for presentation to the senior management team and the hospital board. A specific timetable has been established for producing a set of deliverables.

The "team leader" is a well-known, tenured, full Professor in pediatric oncology with a very strong clinical background and reputation. However, his team leadership skills leave something to be desired.

Among other problems, meetings are cancelled at the last minute, delegation of tasks is ambiguous, and the focus and direction of the project changes scope at virtually every meeting.

As a team member, what alternatives do you have to improve team management?   Which alternative would you select as having the best chance of success?

The major alternative which we have to improve the team management is proper addresing of the issues and having coordination among the team members. The best chance of success in this scenario is mutual consent of all the team members and coordination among the team meembeers.
