Learning outcome: 1.2. Team leadership
Assessment criteria: 1.2.1 Describe the key features in effective team leadership and how this needs to be appropriate to your own role and setting
- Effective team leadership ensures that objectives are met and that team members are given the opportunity to fulfil their potential
- Therefore, team members must be clear about their purpose and goals, work in partnership with one another and have the resources that they need to do their jobs
- They must also have clarity about what is expected from them – this can be obtained from their job description and agreed ways of working
- Health and social care rely on partnership-working person-centred values, so a collaborative approach to problem-solving is the norm
- Senior management will usually focus on the bigger picture and lower-level management will usually focus on the area of operations that they are responsible for
