Abstract

This paper aims to explore the nature and the function of leadership performance in organizations. Researchers address and assess how leadership can progress to be of maximum use of employees' capabilities and to view teams as performing organizational units which is similar to other studies that focus on teamwork processes. Survey data from 72 teams (n = 279) was collected in three industrial institutions in the private sector) in the United Arab Emirates. The results are leaders develop or modify plans of action to address priorities to improve the employees' performance, allocate needed resources and communicate plans to organization. Directing and controlling team appeared strongly related with the team employees towards their organization. Effective management network between team members' was positively associated with the followers' performance and negatively with innovative commitment. In addition, understanding organizational goals appeared strongly related to Team's Leadership.
