Invigorating team processes through transformational leadership: A theoretical proposition - Abhigyan - 38(4), Jan-Mar, 2021: p.30-43

Team effectiveness is a goal that is intended by all teams. Essentially it is through various critical team processes that team effectiveness is aspired to be achieved. This paper through a conceptual model proposes that in energizing team processes to attain effectiveness, the role of leadership is incredibly significant. The form of leadership that aligns well with team processes is transformational leadership. Transformational leadership has been the backbone of leadership studies for two decades. Unique features of transformational leadership that mesh well with team processes that are discussed in the present work are: Visionary, Shared Purpose, Individualized Consideration, Intellectual Stimulation, and Charisma. As per the extant literature and keeping in mind the significance of various variables, the authors have incorporated communication, cohesion, coordination, conflict management, performance feedback as key team processes whose presence would lead to the effectiveness of the teams. – Reproduced
