The impact of leadership on group performance was investigated in the context of a semiautonomous work team environment. The relationship between group performance and team leadership, as exhibited by the designated, internal leader, was moderated by team size. Team leadership, as rated by team members, was related to the managers’ ratings of quality and overall performance for smaller teams, but not for larger teams. In addition, the managers’ ratings of team performance were not significantly correlated with ratings of team performance obtained from the team members.
