Abstract
This document deals with managing a team effectively and the various tasks of the members of the team. First of all, it is important to understand that a team needs to have a leader who has virtues and attributes which differ from the rest of the members. However, it does not necessarily mean that the leaders are more intelligent than the rest of the population, but it suggests rather that they have particular aptitudes that fit well with managerial positions. As people working in group need to be managed to reach their goal, teams need leaders. In the occidental societies, having a leadership means having the attitudes which are in-depth analyzed herein. Even if each member of a team is responsible for its job, it is essential that someone takes the responsibility for the entire group. Most of the time, teams are created to accomplish a common objective which could not be achieved by only one person: the tasks produced by each member of a team contribute to the realization of the final project (as each piece of a puzzle contributes to construct the final picture). Thus, if there is no leader to take the responsibility of the team, it means that nobody is responsible for the achievement of the project.
