I don't think that there is a sequence as to what comes be first.
But generally, if you're a good team player, your chances are high at being promoted to a team leader role.

I believe or I know that to be a good leader you have to be a good team player.
You need to be a team player who can hold team together, when you are able to do just that you will become a good Team Leader.

if you have leadership qualities and skills it wouldn't really matter, because leaders operate up and down the ladder of success.

i don't feel any difference between team player and team leader.
Team Player is a character and Team Leader a position.
A REAL TEAM LEADER WILL ALWAY BE A TEAM PLAYER.

Leadership qualities are a part of an Individuals character.
not every1 has it some are just follower.
so if a person with these quality works at any level or as a team players...
he will gradually develop as a Leader/team leader.
