“Effective team leadership ensures that the functions that are most critical to a team in achieving its purposes are identified and fulfilled when the moment is right. Anyone who contributes to that - whether a formal team leader, a regular team member or even an outside manager or consultant- is exhibiting team leadership.”

Professor Richard Hackman

Leadership was the theme of Coaching Perspectives magazine's January edition. As part of regular articles on team coaching, Dr Declan Woods tackled Team Leadership. In a whistle-stop tour of leadership styles, Declan explores the literature and identifies actions leaders can take as their team develops, to raise everyone’s gain.
