Organizations have changed over the past several decades with regard to the structuring
of work methods and processes. Moving away from the traditional hierarchical design,
most organizations are developing flatter, leaner structures that support a more
empowered, team-based workforce. The nature of leadership has also changed significantly
over time. Building on the body of work that has been done to understand leadership,
the current paper explores the various theories of leadership and how these theories
have changed over time. Starting with a review of work done on leadership, the trends
and changes over time are discussed. In addition, characteristics of successful leaders
are identified. Given current developments in organizations, a call for change is
presented in the context of teams and team leadership. A modified view of leadership
is proposed that may be more appropriate in team-based structures.

In the Asia Pacific, along with the rest of the world, there has been a rapid expansion
in the use of geographically dispersed teams playing pivotal organizational and interorganizational
roles. Yet our understanding of the conditions nurturing the task effectiveness of
those teams is still embryonic. This article examines conceptual issues associated
with the impact of culture, geography and technology in those teams in the Asia Pacific.
It identifies the pivotal role played by "a sense of presence" (the feeling of "being
there" with team members in different places and often different times) in both the
effectiveness of, and satisfaction in, the use of such teams. Current research designed
to explore these issues in teams in business and education in the region is described.

Life research has considered how work team characteristics influence reactions to
negetive feedback. When feedback indicates that the group`s strategy is inadequate,
how members respond to such feedback can determine the team`s ultimate success or
failure. The aim of this theory paper is to identify central sources of influence
on group responsiveness to negetive feedback in a mixed-gender context. Drawing upon
sociological and psychological perspectives, we offer a framework that considers
how men and womenrespond to negative feedback in work teams settings.

The focus of this paper was twofold: to examine critical team leader behaviors (as
perceived by the subordinate) that result in team member satisfaction; and to determine
if there is a significant difference between the perceptions of team leaders and
team members regarding the level of team satisfaction and factors that predict team
leader performance. Results indicate that team member satisfaction was influenced
by: the extent to which communication within the group was open; and the team leaders'
performance. Team leader performance was influenced by the team members' satisfaction
with their leaders' ability to resolve conflicts and the teams' openness in communication.
Team members' and leaders' perceptions did not differ significantly regarding open
communication in the group, however, team members assessed their leaders' performance
less favorably than the team leaders assessed themselves and were less satisfied
with the team leaders' ability to resolve conflicts.
