I was a member of a community emergency team. The team was composed of volunteers who were ready to volunteer in cases of emergencies. The team had a leader who in my own view was the main cause of the grouped breakdown.  As per the plan, the team was supposed to assemble immediately an emergency such a fire occurred in the community. The team was supposed to offer first aid services to any victims. However, the team was not successful due to deferring views among the members.  Different members had joined the group for different reasons. Some though what we were doing was fun; some really wanted to be useful in the society while others were after money. Some of the victims we helped felt obligated to give us some money, which we planned to use in buying protective gear for the team.

The team leader however came up with the idea that we should divide the money among ourselves. This in my view was a wrong move for a team leader. A team leader should listen to the views of the members and not come up with his/her own views. Some of the members agreed with the idea while some opposed. A quarrel broke out between the members and the team eventually broke up.

To address these issues, the team leader should have taken control of the team. First, he should not have come up with such an idea himself.  The team leader should have guided the team towards the sole purpose of helping the society. She should have guided the team into following the vision and mission,which is well stipulated in the team’s manual.
