Abstract

The evolutionary and revolutionary changes in the world scenario, in terms of liberalization, privatization and globalization have caused enormous turmoil and have shaken economic and political power structures. Shrinking boundaries have not only increased competition but also have raised customer expectations. The need is being felt world over, to raise standards and improve performance to achieve competitive advantage and organizational effectiveness. Human resource has been identified as a scarce and valuable economic resource to meet the organizational ends. Changing demographic profile of human resource has changed its need, expectations and aspirations from the workplace. People all over the world are asserting their demands to be recognized, valued and consulted. This insistence has shaken the organizations from their slumber, and now they are striving to shift from Hamstrung to empower organizations, by changing the meaning of control, using Situational Leadership II and Partnered performance by using the model of PRICE and evaluating team-performance on the basis of the acronym of PERFORM.
