Discussion 2

The main focus of this week was determining the impact of leadership style on the team

dynamics and the aspect of the knowledge sharing in the organization. Particularly, the article by

Davidavičienė et al. (2020) effectively highlights the factors influencing knowledge sharing

within the teams operating in the virtual environment. In the fast-paced working environment,

understanding the need to foster collaboration and openness in the remote environment is crucial.

It is necessary to understand the virtual components are essential in the remote environment. As

a result, understanding the effectiveness of trust and open communication is important. The

significant question that remains unanswered is “How is it effective for teams to balance the

need for oversight and overall control within the teams to encourage knowledge sharing?”. The

question evokes the need to focus on the different leadership models and their adaptability in the

various organizational cultures, especially in the aspect of the remote setting.

From the readings, I gained a significant insight into the interplay between the leadership

styles and their effectiveness among the teams. Another aspect that caught my Attention is the

discussion on the shared leadership as highlighted by Hensel and Visser (2018) that depicts the

significance of the personality traits when integrated in the entrepreneurial teams. The diverse

personality traits within the leadership can lead to the enhanced team, performance within the

organization operating in the virtual teams. However, follower resistance may be a sigi9ficnat

challenge as Güntner et al. (2021) discussed. Therefore, there is a necessity for team

engagement in the dynamic leadership to ensure everyone participate in the organizational

leadership and functions.
