*Listen to others*
Even though you are the team leader and you make the decisions, you should always ask people what their opinion is. Try to incorporate them whenever it's feasible. You aren't a dictator.
*Take in others' suggestions*
When someone gives you an idea, work on it. Think of how you can improve on it. A good leader is one that listens and not just talks. Show the team you are flexible to consider their thoughts.
*Include everyone*
If some people are a little left behind, help them. Always try to include them. Find a task for everyone no matter what their skill or level.
*Encourage your team*
Sometimes people are scared to try something and this is where the leader comes in. You have to encourage your team mates and show them that the task is possible, even if difficult, and try to make it fun for them. Show them the positive results of their work.
*Know what you are talking about*
If your teammates are as confused as you are, how will they know what to do? As the leader, you must do the research first, or have the most information.
*Enjoy being a leader*
Even though leaders have to take things seriously, there is no reason you can't have fun. Just don't get too carried away. Balance the serious business at hand with regard for the morale and spirits of the team.
*Pay attention to morale*
A demoralized team won't function. You must set the positive spirit, make the goals clear, show how the job is feasible and possible. No one will work for an impossible goal.
If possible, choose members of your team who can work well together. If this isn't possible, your job is to mentor the weakest member, help him become better in the team. Use peer help-- assign your stronger member as a partner with a weak person and let him demonstrate how to do the job.
A good leader always helps others & never leaves anyone behind !
