Abstract
Many organizations are currently implementing self-managing work teams . Supervision of these teams is particularly challenging in that leade rs are expected to lead others to lead themselves. Grounded primarily in the positivistic paradigm of research, a typology of leadership app roaches is thus developed to explain team leader behaviors and their i mpact on team self-management. A model incorporating leader and organi zational characteristics is then presented to illustrate antecedents o f team leader behavior.
