To be successful team leader you have to be the core of your team, by inspiring them and let them derive the strength from you to achieve their and your goals

1- Make a role model of yourself (in other words apply to yourself first what you instruct the team)

2 - Provide purpose.

3- Motivate and inspire team members.

4- Try to find out how to get the best out each team members.

Sometimes sharing a meal outside work premises, and/or playing a game/football together regularly could be a magic wand to inspire team members.

5- Lead and facilitate constructive communication.

6- Monitor but don't micromanage.

7- Appraise their achievement (this will make them go the extra mile willingly)

Thanks for the invite.

As a team leader one should have the ability to inspire team members apart from the ability to lead from the front. Domain knowledge supported by administrative skills make an individual a successful team leader.

Most great leaders have a passion for building and leading an elite team. Who wants to lead a team based on mediocrity and moderation anyway? That would be a direct negative reflection on who? The leadership. But leading elite teams takes persistence and a consistent pursuit of personal and professional development. Constant personal reflection and taking action based on regular feedback.

I try to constantly study the art of leadership and have drawn many comparisons from my time in the Navy SEAL teams to my experiences as an entrepreneur leading a growing company. Here are five tips for leading an elite team.

Create an environment of leadership. At all levels. When you consider the caliber of team members you find in the military your first inclination might be to wonder how they recruit and develop such selflessness. Such an attitude of service and loyalty to the person to your right and left. But with further consideration, one will realize that it is more about the environment and culture that creates these attitudes and makes them a reality.

 

Elite teams have leaders at all levels. There are many successful organizations out there where the most senior leaders are absolutely not leaders. They are authorities. And because they are authorities, people do what they say. But those people would never truly follow them. And then there are people at the very bottom of the totem pole that are true leaders. Emergent leaders that take charge in the absence of orders and inspire those around them.

Make the team feel safe. Management and leadership are different disciplines.You cannot manage a team into combat. They must be led. It is hard to think that anyone would feel safe in a combat situation. It is all about trust and loyalty. When you trust the leadership and the team members to your right, left and rear, you have an overwhelming sense of comfort. When bullets start flying, politics go out the window. You are fighting to protect your teammates and nothing more.
