Abstract

Collaborative work environments and team-based structures are commonly used across different types of organizations. Leaders increasingly need models for leading in complex intense teaming situations. To understand the team leader’s role, it is important to appreciate and know the dynamics of teamwork, including how teams develop over time and the teaming elements that are important for success. By understanding the stages of team development and the dynamics occurring within a team setting, leaders can focus initiatives that are directed at certain critical moments for the team and build positive team dynamics. Team leaders should leverage the natural timelines that are part of running a project to effectively manage team dynamics to achieve high performance. Two crucial moments for the team leader are building and launching the team for a new project initiative. Following the project launch, teams start to collaborate and begin the performing and evaluating cycle toward goal accomplishment. In this article, we discuss our work with team leaders across industries to define and describe the role of a team leader, report on research focused on team dynamics and development, identify initiatives for team leaders to significantly improve the performance of intense teams, and specify strategies team leaders can use to turn around underperforming teams. We offer a new model for understanding the stages of team development and build this model to integrate important leadership tasks at each stage.

4. Conclusion T

eams have a concluding stage that provides an opportunity for the leader to thank the team members and recognize their success. Some organizations offer symbolic tokens of appreciation such as a company pen or cup to signify the end of the project and celebrate success. In other cases, teams may be recognized publicly at a corporate meeting or retreat. Achieving closure is important for the team members and represents an opportunity to assess any lessons learned for the next team project. In summary, we have discussed a revised model for team development and provided action steps for team leaders to impact and improve the effectiveness of teams. As organizations continue to implement collaborative work environments, the need for effective team leaders is critical. We provide a framework and model for enhancing the leadership of intense teams and the ongoing effectiveness of collaborative organizations. Teams continue to offer advantages for organizations seeking creative and innovative solutions to problems. The material provided in this article offers analysis and integration for current team leaders to use as they launch and lead teams.
