5 The Team Message

 It was very interesting to read this chapter. In this chapter, the author writes about the team. The author pointed that treating the upper people and lower people at the same time is difficult but very important point for the leader. The example about Weinbach was surprizing. He tries to make the firm better by collecting a number of opinion from all employees. Showing understanding, is very important. As we learned about the negotiation, that skill is also needed for a leader.
 As is written that Shackleton hold the hair-cut ceremony, and tried to unify crews. It is said "common identity." In sports, I think there is also an example of common identity.
 
There is a kind of custom that high school baseball players shave their heads and make integrity. I think this action is to show their motivation or strength. Also, it would be to share the "common identity." Not only baseball, a high school soccer team "国見" does the same thing. It is very rare in soccer, but it may be a custon of that high school to have thieir common identity.
