Leadership Skills

When we think of leadership, we think of one person taking the initiative to organize, coordinate, and manage the whole team. Effective leadership keeps an eye on the whole project, but allows the entire team to share the role of leadership. Leadership does not mean that one person should lead everything. In fact sharing the role of leadership in the team breeds a balance of talent and commitment to the team and the project.

In every team you will have a blending of people who like to lead or follow. To fully develop the whole team into empowered leadership, sharing the role and responsibilities of leadership is one way to maintain the morale and energy of the team. Ultimately, it is the responsibility of every team member to work together to make the team succeed.

In many organizations, whether business or nonprofit volunteer, we still see one leader who will lead alone. This kind of leadership can be efficient and motivating where the team respects the leader and are dedicated to the project. This kind of leadership can also be challenging and difficult if the team or group is not motivated by the leader's style of managing.
