For some affiliates, team leader is just a title or a badge. For others, like myself, it is a leadership role, the chance to help others.
A true team leader has the following qualities:
*a reader - always reading more to learn more
*approachable - easy to ask questions and advice from
*communicative - in contact with team members offering advice and tips
*honesty - be truthful to yourself and your team
*confidence - be sure of yourself and your team members
*committed - lead by example, don't expect your team members to do things that you haven't done or aren't doing
*motivated - know ways to help excite your team to keep them moving when they get down, as well as your self when you have an off day or two.
*creative - be able to think outside of the box to help team members with different situations and problems
*be positive - nobody wants to work with someone who is negative. Think positively. Look for positive things out of bad things.
*patience - you may have to explain the same thing multiple times to the same people, or you will have inactive workers who keep asking for help. Stay calm.
I was one who had no clue what it would be like to be a team leader. But I embraced it and will admit to my team that I am still learning and will go ask for help from others if I need it. I am patient and love to answer questions from my team members and it makes me very happy when I see that they understood what I was saying.
Best of Luck to You!!
