Abstract: This research paper investigates the dynamics between team leaders and effectiveness within non-profit organizations at the Islamic University, Bangladesh. By examining five distinct types of organizations—voluntary organizations, cricket clubs, football clubs, journalist associations, and band clubs—we aim to uncover patterns that elucidate how leadership influences team performance. Our primary hypothesis posits that the relationship between team leaders and team effectiveness is systematic rather than random. We operationalize this hypothesis through six dimensions: purpose and goals, roles, team process, team relationships, problem-solving, and skills and learning. Utilizing a structured questionnaire with 30 items, we assess these dimensions and analyze their interrelationships. The study employs both descriptive statistics and correlation analysis to validate our findings, which reveal significant correlations among the dimensions of team effectiveness.

Keywords: Team Leaders, Team Effectiveness, Collective Efficiency, Non-Profit Organization.
