The most successful teams in the world have a strong leader, this is because an effective leader can ensure high group satisfaction and lead the team and individuals towards achieving their goals. A good leader shows characteristics such as ambition, determination, charisma, being a good motivator and having good communication skills, some people say that’s leaders are born and some say they are made.
Inside a group a leader can either be an emergent leader where the leader already belongs to the group. The person acquires the position from within the group by vote/interview or is just accepted by the group, or a leader can be a prescribed leader where the leader is selected from outside of the group this is known as an external appointment.
