Nothing makes a project be completed and become a reality than having a good team leader. This is one person that is like an engine house. So if you are given the role of a team leader. It means you must make whatever work or project given a reality. So how do you accomplish this:

Start by always holding yourself and your team accountable. Forgot about the blame game.

Always be committed to the vision of the work or project given. Work only towards the positive outcome.

Believe in your abilities so that your team members can also have the confidence in you

Learn to listen to other team mates and consider other views

Try to always accomplish set out goals on time

What's your thoughts on this?

Another thing is that you should be looking for an opportunity to have a good followers because that is the most important thing to consider as a leader. If you are having a radical followers it will not be easier for rules and regulation to be implemented as a leader because these people may not be ready to follow it.

A good leader is always a good reader. Feed yourself with good books to know the opinions of different people. Don't be too quick to judge and learn how to take responsibility of the bad things even when you are not the cause of such an act. It makes the subordinate likes you more.

You are right to be able to execute your projects promptly as a team leader then one needs to have followers that are towing the same line of both objective and goal. This is why one needs leadership skills to be able to coordinate others to be able to achieve the aim of the project

Yeah this is more like having a mentor through reading these books. You look at how they were able to achieve their goals and then build on it. It can sometimes be overwhelming but holding up for your self and others can make the difference one might really want to see. It isn't easy but it is achievable

That is true but naturally human being are very difficult to control especially if they do not agree with your terms and condition in this case you will need people that will agree and have one mind based on what you all want to achieve that is the only way you can function perfectly on your duties as a group leader

I think this is why a lot of people get sacked. When once you want to be bigger than the company then your days there are numbered because you are working contrary to the aims and objectives the place. For me anybody trying to sabotage the company rules need to be laid off

This can only happen in a business organisation but a situation in which you are to be a leader in a particular group of people to work together to achieve a common goal, in this case it might actually be difficult for you to control a large number of people who works with you if they do not agree to your terms and condition.you cannot stacked them here since you really need them.
