Always be sure to have faith in your team! If you're always doubting that they can get things done themselves, which is why you end up doing them, then you need to start letting go a little more.

All the above advice is fantastic, so I'm just going to say that changing gradually is the best way to go. Changing too quickly will make everyone confused, and if you think too quickly on your feet, you might regret it.

Always reach out to your fellow teammates and mentors and realize that you're not doing everything yourself just because you're team captain.

Everyone will love you, if you're doing what you want while working towards the same goals as everyone else in order to achieve. Don't try to do things just because they will solely benefit you! As long as you have a passion to keep things moving forward with high hopes, your team will follow you wherever and look to you for advice.

My experience with leadership teams is that you've got to count on them to do what you delegate to them. You should be able to count on them when you're unable to do tasks yourself. They're not your offloading caddy though! The most important thing with a leadership team is to make it clear that they are not on any higher level than students NOT on the leadership team. Everyone has a voice, it's just that students on leadership are stepping up to take more tasks.

The job becomes a lot harder on you when the team also goes through a transition, and when that happens, you just have to remember that everyone has your back, and that you shouldn't over extend yourself. When I became team captain, my team was going through a transition of team leaders mentor wise. Our founder and 5 year team leader was moving out, and so a new mentor filled her shoes, and not only did I help the new leader transition into the role, I was able to make the steady transition with the team so they felt lots of good with the transition.

Good luck & congrats so far!!
