Thank you for your question because it is one that we must ask ourselves if we want to succeed in SFI.
I think that the first requirement of being a team leader is to set a good example for our team to follow. SFI makes it easy to see our accomplishments by the badges on our page but these same badges also shows us the areas that need work. Never ask your team to do anything that you are not willing to do. Set the standard high for yourself and when your team sees that you are achieving your goals, they will follow.
I think that the second requirement of being a good team leader is to be a good reader. You have to read all the communications from SFI so that you will have the facts that you need to make decisions that affect you and your team. That is the reason SFI sends the newsletters and emails and that is the reason that you read them. There have been a lot of changes in SFI lately and you need up-to-date information in order to keep up with them.
The next requirement is to have good communication with your team. Each team leader chooses the method of communication that works best for his/her team. You have to make sure that whatever means of communication that you select is checked often so that you can respond promptly to your members needs. You also need to share the latest news in your stream posts.
The main job of being a good leader is to LEAD! I remember one piece of advice that I was given was that if you are a leader you must lead or you must get out of the way so that someone can.
