Managers and supervisors ensure employees complete tasks correctly, on time, and on target.

Traditionally, they got things done using threats, punishment, and shouting; but most workplaces have edged out this style of team leadership. Research shows that today's subordinates work better in a free, positive, and collaborating environment, and managers and supervisors have to adjust to this workplace reality.

Consultative team leadership is the ability to influence team members by engaging them effectively in decision making and problem-solving instead of imposing on them your authority.
