Notes #16 Situational Team Leadership

Teams are a big part of what we will deal with as leaders.  Much of what we will do will be as part of a team or leading a team, and we need to understand how teams work, how to be part of a team (sometimes called ‘followership’) and how to lead a team.  One of the main ways of dealing with teams is the application of Situational Leadership (covered in Notes #7) to teams, sometimes called Situational Team Leadership.  Of course, this entails several concepts.

First off, we need a better understanding of teams.  We are many times part of groups, large and small.  We may be part of various groups and orgs, such as local clubs or professional associations or the like.  Many of these groups may have subgroups, such as committees or subcommittees (these we covered in Notes #12).
