Leading a team

Action centred leadership

Introduction

If you want to lead a team, then you have to understand what makes teams tick.

Good managers and leaders should have full command of the three main areas of the Action Centred Leadership (ACL) model (task, team and individual). They should be able to use each of the elements according to the situation. Being able to do all of these things, and keep the right balance, gets results, builds morale, improves quality, develops teams and productivity. This is the mark of a successful manager and leader.
