Public Administration... Team Player Poem by Rommel Mark Dominguez Marchan

Public Administration... Team Player



What are the positive and negative points associated with being a good ' team player ' with respect to one's agency?

answer:

Positive aspect of being a good team player is working his task for the organization's sake. He thinks not for his own profit and all his actions positively contribute to attain collective team's goal. He avoids crab mentality. He wants everybody to succeed. He neglects procrastination. If deficiencies occur and decision is absolutely needed, a good team player plays fairly by mingling his sound ideas among the group to draw group decision. He is an asset not a catalyst. He respects his superior and wins his subordinate hearts. He never allows insubordination but rather follow bureaucratic rules. He never attempts to outcast any weak members on his organization nor making himself a make-believe, a wiseacre fellow as the vexation to the team spirit.
However, too much mingling beyond what is positive objective of an agency is quite dangerous.Being a fanatic member despite of his knowledge about his team 's discrepancies and still he goes along the team that connotes negative points.
No single agency which is fixed and static from the start. Social, economic, political, environmental factors affect greatly and influence every individual agency to be dynamic.
Nonetheless, behaviour of an employees as team players directly affected with those external frictions and clashes of change. Others absord it negatively. Some greedily rides with the wave of powers especially in the political realms.They deprive other fellow especially the underpriviledge.

Therefore, a good team player should stand firm and never engage of any misconducts, despite of the spirit of belongingness, despite of the reason for pakikisama system, security of tenure and survivality. Even if the pressure from his superior is quite unescapable and forcibly terminates him from his office if he fails to follow order. Still a good team player in ones respective agency firmly stand with dignity and think of always the welfare of the many.

The negative aspects I had mentioned above were blindedly neglected by the Nixon's administration from all high and low ranking officers who were accountable in Watergate conspiracy. And it was because of POWER!
