What Behaviors Do Leaders Exhibit on Teams?
There are different types of key leadership behaviors exhibited by members of
a team. Ducanis and Golin (1978) make the distinction between task-oriented
and socioemotional leadership.
- The task leader assumes those functions of coordination and planning necessary
for task performance.
- The social-emotional leader is responsible for team maintenance activities,
often serving as a mediator and calming force for the group.
