چکیده
This research explorers the relationship between leadership style and continuous improvement (CI) teams. CI teams have several features that are not always found in other types of teams, including multi-functional members, short time period for performance, positive and actionable results, and exposure to senior leadership.

The leader must have the flexibility to change styles and the skill to use the chosen style effectively in order to ensure the team’s success. Keywords—Leadership style, Lean Manufacturing, Teams, Cross-functional.
