Leadership problems
-
Hi guys,
I am the hockey captain for my sec 3 class. My responsibilities include organising training for my classmates for inter-class competitions and choosing the team members. Although I am the hockey captain, I have to report to the sports rep (my classmate). He keeps overruling my decisions and I also LL can't do anything because he's my superior. He changes team members as and when he likes. Knn

Some of them always skip training and give lots of excuses...need to go home for tuition, need to go out with friends, forget to bring PE shirt etc etc

excuses..excuses...
to start off,how can a team perform if the members aren't willing to put in effort?
have them understand the importance of teamwork that will lead to eventual victory ma..
while ur having breaks with them during practices,sit down and tok to them abt it.in a casual fren-to-fren manner.
as for ur sports rep,i really think u shldn't be affected by him.the more ur irked by him,the more u would get upset.
remember,a true leader won't easily get agitated by trivial matters like this.
instead,aim for the big goal.
think of it as working with him to help the team to succeed.
after all,wad matters is clinching the trophy,isn't it?
lastly,words of advice to u..
the more one wants to outshine somebody,the easier and more he reveals his flaws as a leader. -
Leadership at your age will be linked more to admiration. For example that one is very good in the sports or else have good interpersonal skills.
The only way to lead is to show that you are better than the other members. Accept the decision of your sports rep and make use of the avaible results. Show that even in such situation you will be able to do well.
No one is born to lead, it is through activities that you will learn. -
quit.
-
override his decisions. tell him to his face you are responsible for the team and he knows squat about the game.
if he dun agre just ask the class in the form teacher's lesson, either you call the shots so you wont get this kind of bullshit or you dun do lor. not like you need or really want to do it right?? -

First question: Who chose u as captain?
2nd question: Did the members volunteer themselves willingly?
3rd question: Did they accept u as the captain?
If the teacher chose u as the captain then u shld have the ability to overide the PE rep decision for u are suppose to be responsible for the team victory or defeat. Tell the teacher if the rep wants to overide your decision. Be firm and stand by your decision. Support your decision with reasons.
If the teacher chose you threaten the teamates with repercussion from the teacher if they absent themselves from the training. In short rule by force. -

2) Yes
3) Yes -
If he choose you as captain then remind him of the decision. Tell him to respect you. Tell him the reason behind your decision. Then if you all are still unable to see eye to eye then you quit.Originally posted by RedEagle:1) PE rep chose me as captain

Have a meeting and tell your members what u expect them to do. Tell them why its important to do as you say. Tell them that they choose you as their captain so there is a need to obey you. Most importantly stress that you are out to win if they are reluctant to do what you say chances of winning will be low, might as well redraw from the competition. Then use your last trump card: threaten to quit. THis is all on the assumption that you are best to lead them and them have some respect for you as they chose you. -
how you get punished?? you in skool leh. they dare lay on hand on you, you call police and newspaper lorOriginally posted by RedEagle:Cannot lah..will get punished -
Simple. Tell him / her not to interfere with your playing team members selection next time... If he / she has to do that, don't bother to keep clear of the blames..Originally posted by RedEagle:Nah. Sports rep must be in class committee..I not in class com

Improve on your leadership and inter-personal relationship with your team mates... Afterall, you're a captain... Unless you're telling me you ain't really that capable but possibly just chose to be a puppet...?Originally posted by RedEagle:the sports rep
Do you know what's the reason you're chosen as the captain...?
Remember... There's a REAL DIFFERENCE between a good player and a good leader... -
How many members you have? Try to work on your management... Do they want to play for the team...?Originally posted by RedEagle:Some of them always skip training and give lots of excuses...need to go home for tuition, need to go out with friends, forget to bring PE shirt etc etc
From what I see, going out with friends and forgetting PE shirts are pretty lousy excuses...
Take the initiative to REMIND them (especially those who always forget) a day before training day...
Try to plan the schedules way before time, and if possible... On a more routine basis... Ask them to decide for themselves which is more important... Training for the team or going out with friends..? Make a CLEAR SIMPLE statement... How well they value the team (trainings) would be how well the team would value them later...
Try to separate out (blacklist?) the insincere ones from the sincere ones...
Take attendance... Use them as backup for your decision of playing team members selection later... If your sports rep try to override you, try to bring to higher authority if you think your decision is valid... If the playing team members combination is way beyond your 'idea'... Make clear to the class or whoever is blaming you before the games that this is NOT your decision but more of an INSIST TAKE of your SPORTS REP...
Last but not least... Try to better your relationship with your sports rep...? -
I think it's more important you get along well with your classmates and maintain a happy working relationship with them. Because 1 year later / when you graduate, all this sports affairs will fade into insignificance. What remains are the friends from school. So really just try your best with whatever you can and don't be too angry about things you can't change, don't quarrel with your classmates over their lack of enthusiasm too - not everyone is into hockey or sports
. If your sports rep wants to take charge, let him lah. -
i thought that the game is going on now, therefore he will need to use a little of force if he want to gain contol quickly. Establishing interpersonal relationship will take quite a long time.
