Reply to "Qualities of a Team Leader"

2020dad,

We're using terms differently. My background is the military, and I distinguish between authority and leadership.

Authority flows through the chain of command, and you are right: the coach holds 100% of that unless he chooses to delegate some of it. Notice that none of the examples I cited involved any players usurping the coach's authority over others.

Leadership is working with and through others, helping them be more effective and work more effectively together. It is a shared responsibility for everyone. In the military, even the junior enlisted people who don't have authority over anyone are evaluated on their leadership performance.
