- Read books about successful entrepreneurs.
You want to learn to become a good Team Leader.

When reading your book think how you can do it effectively and actionably. You can do this by using your reading time as efficiently and productively as possible.

Whatever entrepreneurial literature you read, just make sure you are reading it on an on-demand, as-needed basis, not simply because the cool kids seem to be reading it. You need be focus in your goal of learning how to become a good Team Leader.

Being an example can be anything, right from the way your group works, to the way they make professional decisions. Treat everyone on your group with equal respect. Keep an open and honest communication and show your group that you are here to solve any problems the best you can or make any needed adjustments that benefit the group as a whole.Leading by example is a great responsibility, so make it worthy in your walk.
