//Before receiving the result from the simulation, there are various factors that should be considered. It is also necessary to understand the simulation. This simulation is based on the 'team management' in the organization, which is an important element for the success of the organization. But firstly, we will acquire knowledge about the simulation under the heading of introduction.\

Introduction

Simulation is a system or method by which we can evaluate an option for various courses of action, which are based upon the facts and figure, real statistics and assumptions with the help of computerized based mathematical model and latest techniques in order to describe actual decision-making under the circumstances of indecision. For the complex situation of real life the building of a mathematical model is possible but solving the model may not be possible. Simulation is an appropriate substitute for mathematical evaluation of model in many situations.

In order to get success to establish an effective team, the organization is dependent on the ability of the leader to understand the requirement of the organization and to influence the team members effectively. If the leader of the organization or team is not able to understand the gains, skills and knowledge of the team members, he will not motivate them effectively. A leader is an integral part of management and plays an important role in the managerial functions. In the process of leadership a person influences another to achieve some goals.
