7 Effective Ways to Lead Teams
Managers of teams require communications
skills, organizational capabilities, and a knack for judging how people might
work together. Research from Harvard Business School investigates the
challenges of team leadership.

businesses today can exist today without effective team work. So it's
surprising that while many managers are regularly coached on how to lead
individuals, training in team leadership is much more rare.

Harvard Business School professors might help. The following articles from our
archive address several topics: why "teaming" is so important;
the types of managers who make the best team leaders; temporary teams versus
standing teams; what we can learn from sports teams; what leadership looks like
when a team literally faces life or death, and creating a team to build a city
of the future.
