Evaluation Checklist: Becoming a Leader in a Group
     

In your project group, each member has his/her expertise and should be allowed to take the lead when there is a problem that needs his/her specialties. Therefore, leadership should be shared by members. Shared leadership enables the group to:

  • develop the leadership skills of members
  • have somebody who has the appropriate expertise to guide difficult decisions
  • enhance members' sense of responsibilities and accomplishments
