Capable to motivate individuals and teams to achieve agreed objectives, supervise, guide, able to gain trust and confidence of the workforce by being as open and honest as possible.
The Belbin theory- which is used to help develop team types by helping individuals form productive working relationships, to increase self awareness and effectiveness, help in the selection and development of affective and productive teams, to identify certain talents within each team.
Another theory that can be adopted when leading an effective team is the Herzberg theory- this theory is used as a motivational aid for both teams and individuals. In 1959 Frederick Herzberg Said “We can expand… by stating that the job satisfiers deal with the factors involved in doing the job, and the job dissatisfiers deal with the factors that define the job context, that means that the factors that motivate people at work are different, and not necessarily the opposite, of the factors that cause dissatisfaction.
