Dinamica socialã si paradoxul conducerii echipei inovative
Social dynamics and the paradox of the inovative team leadership

Summary/Abstract: This paper focuses on the leadership of innovative teams. A selected number of social and creative dynamics of teams are introduced and a model, describing the paradox of leading an innovative team, is proposed and integrated into existing models of leadership. Leading an innovative team is a paradoxical challenge for a leader. On the one hand, a team needs time and space to create, freedom to take risks and to disregard procedures and rules. On the other hand, a team should work efficiently towards a goal within the constraints established by organisational resources and culture. Two leadership modes, the generative and the focussing, are proposed for this paradoxical process of leading an innovative team. These two modes are described and placed within current decisions making models of leadership and leadership style. Finally an integrated model is presented.
