John Adair's 100 Greatest Ideas for Effective Leadership

Idea 22: Teambuilding – the functions of the leader

‘Teamwork is no accident, it is a by - product of good leadership.’

Teambuilding is part of the core organic leadership role: the trinity of task, team and individual.

One of the main results of good leadership is a good team. We talk about what makes a great team in Idea 27, but it can be briefly expressed as:

• having a clear sense of direction and works hard and effectively.
• being confident in its ability to achieve specific, challenging objectives.
• believing in and identifying with the organization.
• holding together when the going gets rough.
• having respect for and trust in its leader.
• adapting to the changing world.
