In his 2012 book, ‘There is an I in Team', Mark De Rond finds that people are self-interested no matter how much leaders try to inspire them to a cause. Rather than ignore this fact, De Rond believes leaders should embrace and learn to deal with it. If that’s the case the best thing for leaders to do to try to achieve goals is: 1. Remove people who cannot work well within teams and allow them to work independently to achieve expected results. 2. Try to manage a sense of commitment amongst team members. 3. Build a strong performance ethic within the organization. 4. Encourage team members to face one another when they communicate. 5. Recruit based on recent prior performance rather than character.

Describe leadership and management practices that you feel would be best suited to manage a team that feels undervalued, frustrated for abundant miscommunication and micromanagement issues.
