,Druskat & Wheeler (2003)
External leaders can best support self-managing teams by moving back and forth across
boundaries (team vs. organization level) and build relationships.
External leadership is more complex and demanding, compared to traditional leadership:
Less control over team actions
Large number of teams to supervise
Ambiguity of the role
“Hands-off consultative form of influence in which they ask questions, provide
information, and give advice”
Bottom-up approach: influence comes less from power in the role, but from the ability
to persuade members to talk, listen, and accept advice.
“Ambassadorial activities” such as actively persuading outsiders to support the team,
protect the team from outside pressure, and lobbying for resources.
Research Questions:
1. What do highly effective external leaders do to influence those inside and outside
their teams, and how do these forms of influence facilitate team self-management
and team effectiveness?
2. Do highly effective external leaders place an emphasis on building relationships
inside and/or outside their teams, and if so, how do these relationships facilitate
team self-management and team effectiveness?
3. Do highly effective external leaders scout and disseminate information among
teams and their broader organization, and if so, how does this facilitate team self-
management and team effectiveness?
4. What strategies do highly effective external leaders use to empower their teams,
and how do they ensure team decisions and actions that support team
effectiveness?
5. How do the behaviors and strategies of effective external leaders combine to
facilitate team self-management and team effectiveness? (Aka what is the
dynamic process of external leadership.

codebook of 11 behaviors that were found to be consistently used by superior
performance leaders and not often by average leaders.
