I'm such a bad team leader...??? *ADOLESCENT*

Question

Today in student council. OUr teacher gave us teams and I was the leader of the yellow team and we were suppose to show all the freshmans around the school and give them a tour but i kept getting lost and we had to walk around in a circles like three times!

And I didnt make sure my whole team was together cuz some of them got lost and i left some of them behind on accident. What can I do to redeem myself? I hate being the leader of everything!?? Im such a bad leader!!

Answer 1

make it clear to everyone that as leader you are in charge and they have to keep up. if not, they may get left behind and it is their own fault if they aren't paying attention.

if you really hate it, then delegate the task to someone else and opt that as team leader you will be in charge of making sure the new guys feel ok and understand what's going on.

Answer 2

Well before you decide to be in charge make sure you know what your doing, and if you don't feel comfortable then say so, because people would rather be told in advance then find out when it is too late...
