Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to explore the views of team leaders and team members of supervision teams about the extent that team leaders achieve their team leadership roles in Turkey. This research was conducted as a survey. The population of the study consisted of approximately 2650 supervisors (inspectors) working in 81 provinces distributed to seven geographical regions in Turkey. The sample consisted of 563 supervisors which were selected out by random sampling. The data were gathered by a questionnaire developed by the researchers and it was designed in two forms: one for team leaders and one for team members. In the analysis SPSS package programme was used. The study provides several noteworthy findings. Team leaders in general noted that they achieved their leadership roles affectively. The findings show that team members agreed with the views of their leaders. Team leaders and team members’ views were both consistent in their views regardless of their gender, education, seniority and the time spent working in the same province were the same in regard to total statistical calculation and analysis. In order to have more effective teams there is a need to give place to team leadership in legal arrangements more, the one who is selected by the team members as team leader should be appointed regardless of any approval of upper managers. It can be asserted that the more democracy in the process of leadership positions the more voluntary participation among members of a team directed to effectiveness can be expected.
