Description
Summary:The purpose of this master thesis is the study of the relationship between leadership of a team and the achievement of implicit coordination, both directly and indirectly, through trust within the team. Data was collected by distributing a survey and by doing a laboratory study.

The results confirmed that and showed that the different types of leadership functions have a positive effect on the level of implicit coordination a team can achieve, through the development of trust within a team.
