Guidelines for Selecting a Team Leader
The implementer/team leader needs to be a person who understands the goals and can coordinate the plan. This person should have authority, or access to those in authority, in order to build internal support and secure necessary approvals.
The team leader should have the knowledge, skills and abilities to be responsible for:
- Developing and overseeing the action plan;
- Providing support to team members;
- Communicating the plan’s objectives and tasks;
- Monitoring resources; and
- Communicating to those not involved in the action plan, such as authorities and key influencers.
The project manager or team leader’s task is to help keep the focus on the goals of the project.
