An abundance of theories exists on what constitutes appropriate team leadership; what seems to be lacking is how the 'followers " react when exposed to their tenets. This P^-^ticular study involves testing a contemporary model (Stewart & Manz, 1995) via interview statements that seem to indicate that a certain form of team leadership is taking place. Once determined, the effectiveness of the leadership "style " that is in effect is assessed using ten different performance dimensions to determine if that style is successful (or detrimental) in any of those areas. Leadership "tools " from other theories and models are examined as well. Yaffe, Michael, Relationship between perceived team leadership—style—and effectiveness ratings.
