Most teams aren't ideal, and a lot of times, you have to resort to just telling people what to do in order to get the ball rolling. It's like Maslow's hierarchy, but applied to teams. You first have to have a functioning team that completes it's basic needs (tasks) before you can move on to higher-order objectives such as "growth", "moral", strategic objectives, building confidence, training, etc. I think the important point is that the team/leadership of that team need to move past that basic point and grow in other needs.
