Team Leadership

The team leader is the main link between the organization’s goals and the people responsible for the daily activities that make those goals a reality.  Because of the necessary and integral role that this position plays, good supervisors and team leaders are key to the success of any organization. The many daily decisions required within this role affect profits, productivity, and morale.

With a role and function of this magnitude, it would seem logical that the process of becoming a team leader would require training and development.  However, most people placed into these roles are the “super workers” of their organization and they get little or no training in the skills required to assume a leadership position.

Elements of the Team Leadership Process:

  • Attitude Development: Attitude is the basis for all individual behavior. The effectiveness of team leaders will depend on their behavior in a given situation. Improved results and productivity begin by developing the attitudes that govern a person’s behavior.
  • Behavior Management Skills: Better than 50% of a team leader’s time is spent managing other people. To be effective in this role, it is important that the individual develop the skills necessary to effectively communicate and maximize productivity.
  • Goal Accomplishment: A team leader not only sets goals, but also needs to determine how they will be achieved, what obstacles must be overcome in the process and the timeline necessary. The Supervisor Development process provides a proven goal accomplishment model that can be immediately applied to any organization.
