Team Leader

Team leader is a person who manages, give direction, instruction and provide leadership attitude to some group of individual for achieving some targeted result. Team leader should have the capability to analyze the quantitative and qualitative aspect of any team. According to me a team leader should overview all the primary attributes of any functional team. Those are motivation of the team, action which helps to gain the result, collectiveness for the work load among the team mates and over all of this a team leader should provide personal attention to the individual contribution and growth for the team. In my past professional life I have worked under various team leader and came across very different type and individuals in terms of the leading a team. There are some distinguished qualities some of them have which helped our team mates to work in a very friendly environment and simultaneously archiving the team target. Here I would like to mention one of the team leader different qualities. When I used to work with Tata Consultancy Service, my team leader there was one of the best leader under which I have worked. He used to very friendly and supportive in any manner. The good qualities which he has got is the providing team sprit for each an individual. All if there is some commotion in the team he used to talk to each of us for the clarification and then would take some decision on that. Some time he also allowed the team mates to act as team leader to understand the different difficult situation and how to tackle those circumstances.  He vital good qualities was his attitude which was very down to earth, he never used to give a feeling that he was the team leader and we have to follow him. In opposite to that he used to always praise us for what we had achieved so far. Though he was the best team leader and I would always like to work under that type of leadership, but still he has got one short coming in his lead ship process. Whenever there was some dead line to follow for job to be done he always used to panic. Moreover he himself used to start the involving himself in some areas of the work which he was not expert on. Those time he used to forget to involve the specialist and sometime outcome was negative. We always tried to helped him in those circumstances but he used to bring some constrain in those moments which does not allowed us understand him very well. In spite of these negative attitude he never gave pressure on us. The team leader could not have all the good qualities as they are also human being but individual should enables him/herself for any sort of unwanted situation and should know the ways to tackle it for the betterment and achievement of team result.
