Leading Winning Teams
When an organization is performing at its best, you'll usually find that each member has clear responsibilities. Just as importantly, you'll normally see that every role needed to achieve the team’s goal is being performed fully and well. But often, despite clear roles and responsibilities, an organization will fall short of its full potential.
How often does this happen in the teams you work with? Perhaps some of your members don't complete what you expect them to do. Perhaps some team members are not quite flexible enough, so things 'fall between the cracks'. Maybe someone who is valued for their expert input fails to see the wider picture, and so misses out tasks or steps that others would expect. Or perhaps one team member become frustrated because he or she disagrees with the approach of another team members.
People in teams tend to assume different "team roles". A "team role" is "a tendency to behave, contribute and interrelate with others in a particular way" as to ensure the success of the team.

Leadership Styles that Drive Success
From Mahatma Gandhi to Winston Churchill to Martin Luther King to Rudolph Giuliani, there are as many leadership styles as there are leaders. Fortunately, businesspeople and psychologists have developed useful and simple ways to describe the main styles of leadership, and these can help aspiring leaders understand which styles they should use.
So, whether you manage a team at work, captain a sports team, or lead a major corporation, which approach is best? Consciously, or subconsciously, you'll probably use some of the leadership styles in this article at some point. Understanding these styles and their impact can help you develop your own, personal leadership style – and help you become a more effective leader.
With this in mind, there are many different frameworks that have shaped our current understanding of leadership, and many of these have their place, just as long as they're used appropriately. Your success as a Leader will depend on which of the under listed styles of leadership you adopt and the circumstances in which you operate.
