An important focus of this study concerns skill learning of team leaders as such learning enhances performance improvement. If team leaders can learn faster and better to improve performance, then an organization may attain a competitive edge, other things being equal. Team members learn to be more effective in performing tasks and benefit from positive reinforcement. This study looks at the development of skill and competence and examines, on a limited scale, the skill development of team leaders as experienced and perceived by the individuals that the leaders attempt to influence. Given the limits and bounds of this study, we have demonstrated that team member involvement in team leader training and performance can be a substantial influence in the improvement of team leader performance.
