The role of the team leader is to create an environment in which the team can first develop properly and then perform to its full potential. This is a very demanding role. Some teams work remotely and for limited periods of time, as is the case with many business or research projects. Some teams need to sustain their performance over longer periods of time such as administrative teams. Some teams work internationally. Team leaders therefore need a variety of skills besides their specialist knowledge of a subject. This includes the ability to motivate and empower people; an understanding of team dynamics; cross-cultural awareness; and an understanding of how the work of the team fits to the goals of the organisation as a whole.

The attributes of a team that functions effectively are as follows
- It’s work is clearly linked to the goals of the organisation
- The members are committed, motivated and productive
- Workplace learning is encouraged and best practices are shared
- The team is flexible in response to change
- The work of the team contributes fully to the results of the organization.

The following topics will be covered:
- What is leadership?
- Benchmarking our leadership qualities
- The Team Performance Toolbox
- Bottlenecks and challenges for team leaders
- Applying some of the tools to meet these challenges
- The international context
- Dealing with different people
- Motivating and empowering people
- Personal action plan

The training course is designed for research managers and administrators, team leaders, line managers, and all people who are responsible for staff or want to prepare themselves for jobs with responsibility for staff.
