الموضوع: Developing Yourself as a Team Leader.(2) TL

Dear all
this is the second part of Developing Yourself as a Team Leader course

THROUGH OTHER PEOPLE

In other words, your job is as much about getting other people to do things as it is doing things yourself.
If you are to be effective in your job, you have to get things done by using your team members and motivating them. Remember also that in future you will be assessed, not only on your individual performance, but on the performance of your team as well.
We can also examine the role of the Team Leader in a little more depth by using the framework provided by Henri Fayol. He broke down the role by looking at five distinct areas of activity. He described these as:

· Thinking ahead - PLANNING
· Arranging Resources - ORGANISING
· Maintaining Morale - LEADERSHIP
· Making improvements – DEVELOPING
· Knowing what’s going on - CONTROLLING
The chart that follows sets out some broad headings
