ABSTRACT

The manager of a team can adopt different roles, which set the tone for how the team operates. This metric provides a method for a team manager to reflect on the roles that they play, and consider whether to amend or change. This activity was designed for use within a real team context, but it can be readily adapted for use on training programmes, although the briefing instructions will need to be changed. The metric has been written so as to facilitate a dialogue between a team manager and a team member. The process can, of course, be repeated several times with different team members. This chapter provides a framework for reviewing team management roles and the opportunity for team members to discuss team management roles with their leader. In this each participant will require a copy of the 'Questionnaire', together with the 'Analysis' and 'Action Plan'.
