Trust and team potency
Self-leadership has often been presented as a critical component for facilitating team effectiveness, particularly in self-managing teams with no formal internal leader. of particular note, trust and team potency have been suggested as two possible self-leadership outcomes that may have important implications for team effectiveness. Trust generally refers to the belief that others will be honest, upholding commitments and declining to take unfair advantage when given an opportunity. Team potency is a belief jointly held among team members that the team can be effective in accomplishing its goals and objectives. See Bligh et al(2006) for an in-depth discussion of this issue and presentation of a model detailing the relationships between self-leadership, trust and potency in a team context, along with propositions for future research in this area.
