Being an effective leader means that you have the ability to lead a team toward a common goal. When it’s done right, the team wins and the organization moves forward. But it’s not simple. The process of figuring out how to find the combination of leadership and structure to lead a successful team is among the biggest challenges in business today.
Teams traditionally come together, from a variety of backgrounds and experiences, to find solutions to complex business challenges. To work effectively, teams must have three things in place: collaboration, trust and accountability. These factors can be hard to achieve, especially when team members are pulled in different directions.
