All teams at one time or another will have deficiencies. Leaders must patrol these deficiencies and be the first to take the needed corrective action. How the leader responds to discrepancies is an indicator of trust and respect among the entire team. The multiple-linkage model lists behaviors a leader can take to improve a deficiency in the six mediating variables (task commitment, ability and role clarity, organization of work, cooperation and mutual trust, resources and support, and external coordination). Choose one variable, and write a brief essay explaining how the leader can improve the deficiency.
