I think this is a good question, it brings back to the question of what came first, the chicken or the egg.

The first first question in my mind, is how this individual came to become a leader ? Appointed by the Coach ? Voting by Majority ? Volunteered ?

I think once we understand the context...we might be able to give better guidance. But one thing I will say, expect a lot people to question your leadership and decisions, it comes with the territory, you can't make everybody happy.....just remember why you are a leader.


In the meantime, here is one tip I try to follow that I learned from Dale Carnegie Carnegie Golden Book that a co-worker of mine gave to me :

Don't complain, criticize or condemn others.


Cheers,
Marcos.

See a little more about me. I was on the team last year and I am the only returning person. The rest quit not wanting anypart of the team
