Introduction

Much emphasis is placed on leadership development when, in reality, the leader is only one person; the true driving force behind a leader's success is their team.  More importantly, regardless of how knowledgeable and competent individual team members are, a dysfunctional team will undermine organizational goals, drain morale, and waste effort.
With increased commercial pressures and target-driven cultures, many leaders are now considering how to get the best out of their employees. The leader's behavior and style are the single most important factors in driving effective teamwork and team engagement.
