3. LEADERSHIP
Leadership can be defined as the act of leading a group of people,
a team or an organization, or the ability to do so. But “leading” in
itself entails a great many things, and calls for further
clarification. True leadership is not simply about leading, but
rather, how to motivate and inspire people to follow. After all, a
leader is not a leader by title, or rank, or wealth. A leader is a
leader because people are willing to follow.
It’s not just the production of results that makes for good
leadership. Great leaders are able to deliberately inspire team
members to work towards achieving a common goal. And this
brings us directly to the concept of team building – for
leadership and team building are necessarily inseparable.
Successful leaders are then able to positively influence others
and by using their innate qualities, they inspire a workforce, a
team, or even a nation to achieve goals. In other words,
effective leaders are able to manage relationships with others
and create positive outcomes.

4. TEAM BUILDING
Team building refers to the various
activities/steps undertaken to motivate the
team members and increase the
overall performance of the team –
leadership is the key ingredient to
promulgating the very act of team building.
Team-building activities can be a powerful
way to unite a group, develop strengths, and
address weaknesses. The act and efforts
that go into team building must
ideally improve communication and
build interdependence and trust.

5. LEADERSHIP AND TEAMWORK
Teamwork is the ability to work
cooperatively with others to achieve
group objectives. This competency is
fundamental because leadership is not
an individual sport.
The essence of leadership is
accomplishing worthy goals through the
combined efforts of others, and
teamwork capabilities are crucial.

6. Leadership and teamwork have a direct impact
on the ability for an organization to carry out its
mission.
You need leadership to make sure everyone on
your team is going in the same direction and
working towards the same goal. Good
leadership:
• Provides a clear vision for the team.
• Provides a strategy for achieving the vision.
• Motivates team members to use their
talents.
• Challenges the team to be innovative and
enhance their skills.
• Monitors progress and directs the team to
keep them on track.

7. WHY IS LEADERSHIP IMPORTANT?
• Ultimately, the level of leadership
determines the direction of – and is the
key to the success of an organization. With
a long-term perspective on goals and
finding innovative ways of achieving them,
leaders can ensue real change.
• Good leadership is essential for means of
analyzing the strengths and weaknesses of
a team – and to provide the motivation
and skills necessary to achieve common
goals. Essential leadership skills will enable
the improvement of the direction,
motivation, development and
achievement of an organization – by and
through its team members.

8. Good leaders are responsible for managing
conflict, exert thorough decision making, and
perhaps most importantly – set the mark for
that common vision.
This is where leadership and team building
meets: The enabling of delegates to focus
their leadership more effectively is crucial to
the development of a team within an
organization.

9. IMPORTANCE OF
TEAM BUILDING
Team building encourages team members not
only to work harder but to work smarter. When
people understand how to use their individual
skills to the group’s advantage, teams find the
best ways to co-operate and succeed at job
tasks.
One of the most important things that a team
needs to have is good communication between
members. Team members who are comfortable
communicating will be able to work together
with the most efficiency. This can be hard for
people who are not used to engaging in effective
communication. Some may find it uncomfortable
to offer advice or ask for help from team
members. This is why team leaders should
constantly encourage clear communication
between members. Leaders can use team
building activities to introduce members to an
environment of open communication.

10. WHY LEADERS NEED
TO PRIORITIZE TEAM
BUILDING?
There’s a big difference between being a boss and being a
leader. A boss gives orders. A leader provides
guidance. The best leaders are the ones who take a team-
work approach to solving problems and completing work-
related tasks. Leading doesn’t just involve directing but
involves teaching the team about how they can best work
together.
Leaders need to be working towards developing great
teams every day. Leaders who are effective at this have a
few essential characteristics. They are good
communicators, trustworthy, and they nurture
relationships with their employees. Leaders also must be
keenly aware of what their team needs to do their best
work. And importantly, they understand the strengths and
weaknesses of each member and give them each a role
that they can excel in. These kinds of leadership qualities
can help build motivated and efficient work teams to
increase productivity and workplace happiness.

11. IMPORTANT
LEADERSHIP
SKILLS FOR
TEAM BUILDING
• SHARE A VISION
This skill refers to how clearly a leader
can see his or her vision, share it with
members and inspire them to support
it. The ability to lead also entails how
well a leader can motivate team
members in order to get the
desired results.

12. • EFFECTIVE COMMUNICATION
All great leaders need to be good
communicators because they need the
ability to explain their ideas, describe
the company vision to employees,
ensure tasks are done on time,
facilitate office conversations, and
know when it is the right or wrong time
for a meeting. Leaders must also be
able to communicate what a job entails
before someone is hired, and explain
the reasons for firing someone.

13. • RELATIONSHIP BUILDING
Creating and fostering relationships
with both team members and clients
is one of the marks of a leader who is
truly dedicated to his or her position
and company. It takes an investment
of time, emotion, and effort to
maintain such relationships, and this
is not overlooked by your team
members or customers. These
relationships will help inspire your
team to work harder and even go
above and beyond the call of duty.

14. • TRUSTWORTHINESS
The most trusted leaders gain the trust
and respect of employees and their
team because they display integrity
and honesty. Being seen as
trustworthy will increase your team
members’ commitment to their goals,
and inspire their best efforts. This
includes many factors such as
competence and perceived intent.
Being trusted by your team also helps
the communication process, because
team members will be more likely to
take risks during brainstorming
sessions and come to you with any
problems that are interfering with
their ability to do their work.

15. • TIME MANAGEMENT
Time management is often cited as an
important skill for employees, but it is
even more important for leaders.
Great leaders have to keep track of
their own time as well as steer the
entire company toward meeting its
goals. Therefore, time management for
leaders entails knowing how and
where to spend their own time,
understanding how employees spend
their time, and what objectives each
department should spend its time on.

16. • COMMITMENT
Great leaders are committed to their
work, their team members and their
customers. They understand that
what makes a product or service
great is an ongoing commitment to
excellence.
• CONFIDENCE
Confidence inspires trust and helps
leaders present themselves and their
team well. Leaders need confidence
to make and stick to important
decisions.

17. CONCLUSION
For an effective team, leadership must be
efficient. Leadership is the ability to direct a
group of people in realizing a common goal.
This is done by people applying
their leadership attributes. Leaders create
commitment and enthusiasm amongst
followers to achieve goals.
Team Building helps to develop relationships
among team members, celebrate successes,
and build communication skills. Leaders
should always make sure and take time to
organize the details, set goals and
communicate their expectations to the team.
