Discussion:
Order for an organization to have high-functioning self-managed teams, its leader(s) must be committed to the strategies necessary to develop these teams. In addition to the development process, leaders must also establish strategies to motivate and sustain the effort of teams over time, to maintain their productivity and relevance. Ideally, a team is working toward continuous improvement and evolution; its work should represent this movement. As recent history has shown, tomorrow's challenges will certainly be very different from today's. In this assignment you will discuss how leadership can motivate and encourage a team to excel.
