What factors influence who becomes a team’s leader? When is team leadership not so necessary?

What will be an ideal response?


Personal characteristics (e.g., gender, age, and height) may predict leader emergence though not effectiveness. However, the most important predictor of who the group selects is how frequent members communicate (the “babble effect”). Perceptions of a prototypical leader may also affect who group members choose as their leader. The need for a team leader is diminished when task is relatively routine, team’s goals are clear, and employees are highly competent.
