窗体底端、 How to Be a Good Team LeaderBeing able to work effectively on a team is critical in the current job market where every employee is closely measured. Team work is also essential in school, sports, and group activities. Here are some ideas on how to be a good leader.AdSteps1、Listen to others. Even though you are the team leader and you make the decisions, you should always ask people what their opinion is. Try to incorporate them whenever its feasible. You arent a dictator. 2Take in others suggestions. When someone gives you an idea, work on it. Think of how you can improve on it. A good leader is one that listens and not just talks. Show the team you are flexible to consider their thoughts. 3Include everyone. If some people are a little left behind, help them. Always try to include them.

Your job is to try to prevent errors, demonstrate the proper course of action, and make up for errors when they occur. Dont try to act too dominant. If you start acting bossy and telling people what to do, they are going to be upset. Try telling them in a friendly way but also in a way that shows you are in charge. If possible, choose members of your team who can work well together. If this isnt possible, your job is to mentor the weakest member, help him become better in the team. Use peer help- assign your stronger member as a partner with a weak person and let him demonstrate how to do the job. A good leader always helps others & never leaves anyone behind. Lead by example. If you try your absolute hardest in every practice and every game, other team members will, too.
