There would probably be problems with a team motivating itself. It needs a leader to keep everyone together. I don’t think people can do that themselves alone.
Every team needs a leader. I just watched one of those cooking challenge shows where 12 chefs were trying to work as a team. What a mess! They were motivated but could not get any direction because there was no designated leader and therefore they were going in 12 different directions.
So bottom line, yes I think a team can get motivated, but without a leader it can become chaos!
I just wanted to comment your blog and say that I really enjoyed reading your blog post here. It was very informative and I also digg the way you write! Keep it up and I’ll be back to read more soon mate
Couldn’t be written any better. Reading this post reminds me of my old room mate! He always kept talking about this. I will forward this article to him. Pretty sure he will have a good read. Thanks for sharing!
If the team is a harmonized team then all members become leaders at some time. With clear cut goals of the team each members talents will step up and lead while the other team members assist. I believe there is usually the visionary….that gathers the team players….and, if the team players are accountable to the goals, they will all be the leader in some way.

This could be an excellent discussion and interesting what people think about this. Be great to talk about.

In some ways it is possible for this but if the question means for a team to take care of itself I don’t think so. There would be problems.

Thanks for your write-up! I still see these TV shows as of yet, and I never get tired of them, excellent shows.
