1TEAM AND TEAM LEADERSHIP
Slide 1: Introduction
As stated by Mach (2019), teams have become an integral part of the organizational structure of
the different corporations and it is seen that the majority of the corporations are presently taking
the help of the same for enhancing the effectiveness of their organizational structure. Wang et al.
(2017) are of the viewpoint that the different corporations presently have developed specialized
teams which are entrusted with the work of handling specific job roles only. Furthermore, it had
been seen that an important factor which substantially influences the performance of the teams is
the team leadership approach that is being adopted for managing the team.
Slide 2: Importance of teams and their contribution towards organizational performance
Ceri-Booms, Curşeu and Oerlemans (2017) are of the viewpoint that unlike the earlier times
presently the different corporations have categorized the plethora of work performed by them
and thus it is seen that for the completion of each of the tasks separate teams have been created
by them. Furthermore, workers having similar skill sets or qualifications are being placed within
the same team so as to facilitate the effective completion of the concerned job role of the
corporation and thereby make a positive contribution towards the overall organizational
performance and its growth (Li et al. 2018). This in turn while helping the corporations to
achieve their organizational goals or objectives also helps them to attain competitive advantage
as well.

Slide 3: Importance of team leadership and its contribution towards organizational
performance
According to Thomas et al. (2018), the team leadership approach which is being adopted within
a team is an important determinant of the overall performance of the concerned team. Adding to
this, D’Innocenzo, Mathieu and Kukenberger (2016) have noted that the different services
performed by the leaders like mentoring, coaching, motivation, task delegation and others helps
the team members to perform as per the targets outlined for the concerned team. This in turn
helps the team to make a positive contribution towards the overall organizational performance.
Slide 4: Workgroups, teams and leadership
Workgroup is a group within a particular workplace which had been formed temporarily for the
completion of some project or some other important work which cannot be completely handled
by a single team (Lyubovnikova et al. 2017). Furthermore, the workgroups are being formed for
a short duration of time out of sheer necessity and often they do not display the attributes or the
features of a team. On the other hand, team comprises of a group of individuals who had been
brought together for the achievement of certain specific tasks or job roles and the members of the
same despite being from different backgrounds show the required cohesion (Chiu, Owens and
Tesluk 2016). More importantly, the teams are held by a team leader whose primarily job role is
to influence the behavior as well as the attitude of the members of the concerned team for the
achievement of the targets that had been given to them.
Slide 5: Formal groups within organizations and wider society
A formal group within a workplace is a group which is clearly defined by its organizational
structure and is entrusted with the completion of certain specific tasks only (Hu and Judge 2017).
