A team leader should be appointed whenever there are multiple people doing the same task.
The most efficient way to manage multiple team members is through a team leader. When many team members do similar tasks and the work of each individual complements the other, the team requires a leader. The team leader acts as the driving force behind the team. The leader is responsible to gather a report from each team member and give the team report to the manager. Thus, the manager only has to manage the team leader in order to manage the entire team. This frees up the manager's time and enables the team to have their own objectives and key results in addition to the individual objectives and key results of each member. I remember having this memorable subordinate at my first job. She was the youngest when I was in the company, we both have the same hired date. She is a team player, but her team is indifferent. She was the youngest among the team, in the office as well. It was so hard to cope up at the first two weeks of the job but since she’s there, it become easier. She was appointed as the team leader and become the youngest team leader of the company’s history. I really admire her. Comments are closed.
