LEADERSHIP IN TEAM WORK

     Two heads are always better than one. And when it comes to a team or group then their are many heads working together. If a team has coordination and the people are like minded then the task assigned to them is performed with perfection. 

        How ever there are some people who do not like to get suppressed by others and they do not want to work under others but still love to work in team. This is usually the behavior of those people who are social but have dominating personalities. They do not have attitude problem. They like to interact with others, love to make friends but still don't want others to over come their position.
        This is situation where one has to remain self satisfied and keep others happy too. So for this the best way is to become the leader of your team, no matter what ever task is given to you. Becoming a leader doesn't mean that you have to declare your self as a leader. However, it means that you have to take big challenges over to your self and take up the main responsibilities. 
        It does sound as if its a big idea but, in actual it is not. Why? the answer is simple, you are a part of team. We know one thing that whether we are in possessional life or student life, one person is always a BOSS. He/ she may be as a teacher/ instructor or as a manager. You can not deny the existence of that boss as long as you want to stay as a part of the office or institute.

      So how to work in a team as a dominant member?

• LEARN TO COMMUNICATE:Keep relation with the boss (instructor or manager) in such a way that you may not find any difficulty in expressing and communicating your opinions in the decision. The sillier is the one who butters. Now a days, the people are well-educated and sensible enough to understand who is praising to get promotion and respects in the real way. Good relations are created when the performance of work is excellent. Keep in mind that these relations are not meant for seeking promotion, they are just to lead your own team comprising of the members equal to you.Boss has NO concern with it.For example, if your manager makes a team having five members and directs you how to do a task, and you have an easier and better option to do some thing, you may tell your manager that you can do it that way too.
• OMIT "I" ATTITUDE: Leadership dreams sink like ship if you have " I" attitude. This is because the people will get irritated by your bragging all the time and they'll be offended. Instead of accepting you as a leader, they'll start planning to change the  group member. It is a quality of a good leader that he uses the word WE, while showing progress in the task etc.
•   COOPERATE WITH MEMBERS: Cooperation and collaboration is a major condition in working as a team. If your attitude is such that you cooperate with those with whom you are close and not those with whom your mind doesn't match, then it simply means you'r not working as a team. When there is no team, there is no leadership.
• DON'T GET PERSONAL TO ANY ONE: Favoring some one on the ground that he/she has got BMW or that person always wear branded shoes and degrading some one because he puts yellow tie on indigo shirt or she attends parties in joggers, is the most most you can do unfair with your team. Never base your opinions on the personal basis when it comes to work.
• HELP EVERY ONE: If you will help your team members with all your heart and will listen  to them attentively, soon you will find your self encircled with the team people in spare time, they will start talking by keeping more eye contact with you rather than the others. And this is the point, where people will start liking your ideas and accepting your directions happily.
• BE THE FIRST ONE TO ACCEPT: If you are given any direction from the instructor or the manager, when every one is in state of dissonance whether to accept the responsibility, be the first one to accept it. After accepting, now the command is in your hand to decide how to divide the task. This is the key point to become a leader in a team. 

   When you accept the responsibilities willingly and firstly, it helps you not to work under any one else. When you will take responsibilities, your boss will surely consult you in making the draft of the plan. Secondly, you will become the one who will distribute the work load among others, so the others will come to you to take directions and guide lines. If you will cooperate with your members, and guide them sincerely, you will be the one to save your team from crushing into pieces or sinking like a ship and will prove your self to act as a leader in team work.
