Building effective teams is key to your mission and organization success. To get the best out of your people you must understand what leadership skills are needed and how to find the right people for your team. Teams are different from groups in that teams have a common goal, the members are dependent on each other and must function in a coordinated way in order for everyone to be successful. Excellent teams have leaders who recognize and provide support associated with three main team leadership functions: Internal task leadership, internal relationship support and maintianing contact with and supporting the team to external stake holders. Team leaders must effectively balance the internal functioning of the team, the external demands which inevitably attempt to impact the team progress, as well as monitoring team performance and knowing when to step in and take action. Everyone desires to be well led. Each person on a team brings with them passion, desire, skills, knowledge, abilities and talents. Along with these, they also bring a desire to be developed beyond what they already bring to the team. By investing in the development of all team members great potential is allowed to flourish and results will be beyond what was first thought possible!
