What is a team leader?
A team leader is a first line management role in a business or organisation. Team leaders’ responsibilities could include a specific project, operational matters or managing a team to deliver a clearly defined outcome. Team leaders provide direction, instructions and guidance to ensure the set goals are achieved.
Team leaders work in the private, public or third sector and in all sizes of organisations, so specific responsibilities will vary, but the knowledge, skills and behaviours needed will be the same regardless of sector and industry.
A team leader’s key responsibilities can include:
- Leading projects
- Resolving problems
- Delivering operational plans
- Supporting, managing and developing team members
- Planning and monitoring workloads and resources.
