Next, locate a minimum of
three (3) additional articles from the
University Library databases. Your selected articles should discuss
some of the aspects discussed in the course as they relate to the
concept of leading and motivating effective teams, such as team
building, empowerment, conflict resolution, and ethical
decision-making, etc. Ensure that your selected articles reflect a
blend of research that has contributed to the generation of
applicable theories as well as a critique and analysis of the
specific theories. Your sources should be current and published
within the last five years.
- Develop an introduction on the background and importance of
leading and building effective teams in a diverse range of
organizational settings, and the purpose of the literature
review.

across the seven (7) selected articles.

similarities and differences regarding how each of the authors has
presented each theme.

evaluating the need and importance of establishing a vision and
strategies to leading/building effective teams in organizations
and/or business operations. Refer to the internal and external
factors that may influence and impact team effectiveness and
success.
Remember, a literature review is not simply a summary of the
articles, but is a synthesis of the many ideas and concepts
presented in the various articles.
Your literature review will be a 6–7 page Word document written
in APA, 6th ed. format and utilize at least seven (7) scholarly
sources. Your paper should be written in a clear, concise, and
