Team Vs. Group: How the behavior of leaders differs?

How the behavior of leaders differs?
How can a group leader create team results?

Experience demonstrates that teams are usually more effective than groups. If the leader of a group want to improve performance overall, he needs to find a way of the group taking shared ownership for the results.

It is likely that a shift from individual responsibility to shared responsibility
can only be achieved if the pay and reward system has a significant element that is dependent on the overall outcome.

The knowledge, skills and attitudes of the leader may also need to shift significantly to be effective in this new environment.

For example, the leader may need to share all of the individuals' results with the group. The group has a right to know how others are performing if their pay depends upon it.

This may be a challenging experience for a leader who has avoided the potential emotional stress that can be caused by this level of openness. They may have found it a lot safer to keep the individual results to themselves in the past.
