The team leader is responsible for several key tasks:

  • Create a vision. A vision is the most important part of making a team successful.  If a team cannot see what they are doing and why, it will fail to succeed. Motivate the team by encouraging fulfilment of goals, encourage them to be successful.
  • Maintain the relevance and meaningfulness of goals, purpose and approach.  Teams need to shape their own goals, approach and purpose.  The leader is a working member of the team who must also contribute, but he/she will also stand apart from the team as the leader.  The team will expect the leader to use that objectivity and distance to help them clarify their goals, mission and purpose.  A leader should lead by example and ensure the team gets the job done!
  • Develop commitment and confidence. Leaders should try to develop the confidence and commitment of the team and individuals within the team.  To be an effective leader, you need to be vigilant about the skills the team members possess, ensuring that members have the sufficient technical, problem solving and decision making skills.
  • Encourage members to take risks. Shift their tasks and roles to challenge them to get out of their comfort zone and into the learning zone, but not so far that they enter the fear zone.

If we stay in the comfort zone, learning and change becomes difficult as we have nothing to motivate or push us.  If we do not leave the comfort zone due to fear, no learning will take place.  People may be slightly uncomfortable when they first enter the learning zone, so we change to fit in.

Maintain relationships with non-team members. Team leaders are expected to maintain relationships with people inside and outside the team and organisation and to effectively communicate the goals, purpose and approach of the team to people who are interested.  A team leader also needs the strength to stand up for the team if there are obstacles or criticism that may demoralise them.

Give opportunities to others. A team leader needs to provide opportunities for team members to perform and achieve success experiences that will develop their confidence and their commitment to the team project.  Ensure you share all opportunities so that the team can all develop
