Leading Teams

At the beginning of your career it’s likely that you were solely responsible for your own work. As a manager or leader it is now your responsibility to inspire, lead and motivate your team to accomplish a set of goals for the organisation. However, not everyone is going to be easy to work with and ensuring everything is running well can often prove a challenge.

Managing teams is the ability to lead and coordinate a group of individuals to achieve results. To do this effectively will require you to maintain good communication; set clear roles; responsibilities and objectives; build trust and positive team morale; recognise good performance; manage conflict and underperformance, and ensure the team is moving in the right direction. There are various methods and leadership styles a manager can take to increase engagement and performance and build an effective team. Developing your ability to support the team, as well as the individual and task, is very important.
