This particular paper examines effective leadership in both business and sport, with an emphasis on finding its overall effect on team performance. Leadership directly affects team performance in a variety of ways, with a variety of different techniques. The team performance will reflect back on to the leader, in either a positive or negative light, depending on the nature of the performance. At other times, both sides of the equation (leadership and team performance) will affect each other equally, with more of a balanced relationship. The relationship may also lean more heavily towards leadership, relying on the leadership to set the tone for the given organization. Using extensive literature review and conceptualization, these relationships and more are made clear throughout the duration of the following text.
