Prototype Team Identity
Key Takeaways
- Leadership effectiveness is related to leaders' ability to represent and advance the social identity of a group. Effective leaders transform by embodying the group they influence.
- Team cohesion and cooperation are emergent results of social identity. Trust and reciprocal respect are associated with social identity. Being perceived as trustworthy, fair and charismatic is a consequence of in-group prototypicality.
- Team leaders may turn to the group and its social context rather than relying on de-contextualized knowledge and principles.
- To prototype team identity, team members actively listen to co-workers to understand their needs, values, beliefs, priorities, aspirations. They assist in establishing norms and conventions that regulate working together within the team, particularly by authentic role-modeling.
