AN INTEGRATED MODEL OF TEAM LEADERSHIP FOR EMERGING ECONOMIES

Summary/Abstract: Leadership is an area of study that dates back several decades with the emphasis placed on individual leaders particularly those in political and military fields. With the evolution of the practice of leadership and its application to organizations, the concept of team leadership gained attention. The main aim of the article is to outline a model for promoting team leadership in organizations with special emphasis on developing and emerging countries. A two stage qualitative research methodology was adopted involving collection and analysis of secondary published data for the purpose of identifying the main concepts and themes relating to leadership, followed by the integration of the most relevant concepts into the design of a team leadership model. The article is valuable as the creation of models to guide the leadership of teams are sparse especially with applications to developing-country contexts. There are implications for the management of organizations in most jurisdictions, but particularly countries where modern leadership practices lag behind best practices.
