Depending on the needs and concerns, different objectives are pursued with the team development measures, such as:
Clarification of goals, interfaces, roles and tasks in the team for greater effectiveness and efficiency,
Strengthening team cohesion, encouraging mutual understanding and increasing satisfaction,
Resolving conflicts and establishing a functioning feedback culture
Strengthening the ability to act for upcoming challenges and changes.
The role of the team leader can vary within the process: sometimes they are part of the process (and thus part of the system), while other times they are only the client and an important part of the team's external environment.
