摘要：The continuous and unpredictable changes faced by today’s organizations require them to accept increasingly complex challenges that guarantee results in order to survive in a highly competitive market. This condition demands that managers enhance their ability to lead teams, while taking into consideration characteristics that previously seemed irrelevant. The purpose of this study is to conceptually define the leadership of high performance teams and discussed the role such leadership should have in their formation and maintenance. The study points out the need for a leader to become a facilitator for the transformation, not only of the people who make up the team, but also for the organization through further development and growth. The findings raises the need to include in the process of successful leadership of high performance teams such factors as organizational strategy , human resource management and even the organizational structure , all necessarily permeated by the styles of leadership and leader’s attitude toward change.
