Democratic Leadership

things and make decisions• Reasons for delegating:

Leadership in Teams
• What is a self-managed team?
• Work groups that supervise themselves
• Manager’s role replaced by the team leader
History of Leadership Teams
• Stared in Japan• Came to US in 1980’s• Stresses people working in teams and making
decisions as a group• Leader is team player rather than boss• Leader learns a range of jobs rather than just one• Team usually works on single project
• Makes project goal oriented rather than task oriented
Organization of Self-Managed Teams
• Two ways• Team selects one team leader• Each team member employs special skills, but there is
no team leader
• Which do you think would be more effective?• As a team leader, do not give orders• Motivate team members • Work toward a shared goal• Evaluate each other’s performance
Advantages to Self-Managed Teams
• Are more goal oriented than task oriented• Have a chance to learn each other’s job and obtain
new skills• Learn to participate and cooperate• Learn to solve their own problems
• Disadvantage:• Some people do not have skills or initiative to work
together productively
