This article cites a study of leadership and team effectiveness in community coalitions for the prevention of alcohol and other drug (AOD) abuse. During the study, it was hypothesized that leadership style, member satisfaction and team self-efficacy influence team effectiveness. A total of 65 team members from ten teams were included in this study. These subjects were actively involved in one of ten teams charged with planning and establishing AOD abuse prevention programs. Based on this study, a model of coalition team effectiveness is developed here, which proposes that the leader's characteristics are critical to positive team outcomes. The style of leadership proposed to be most related to team efficacy in the first phases of coalition implementation and planning is an empowering style of leadership.
