The results are leaders develop or modify plans of action to address priorities to improve the employees’ performance, allocate needed resources and communicate plans to organization. Directing and controlling team appeared strongly related with the team employees towards their organization. Effective management network between team members’ was positively associated with the followers’ performance and negatively with innovative commitment.
