31 What is the role of a committee (team) leader?
32
33 * The committee leader takes responsibility for both the quality and
34 timeliness of the work of the committee.
35 * The role of the leader is *not* to do the work of the other
36 committee members, but instead to motivate others to ensure that the
37 aims of the committee are pursued.
38 * The leader should lead by example and, when necessary, reinvigorate the group
39 * The leader would preferably be someone who possess both natural leadership
40 qualities and significant experience in the subject matter of the committee.
41 * In choosing the leader, the other committee members must accept to
42 engage in collaboration with, and respect the leadership of, the chosen
43 leader.

45 Concretely, the leader must:
46
47 * Call meeting and set the agenda
48 * Focus the efforts of the group to ensure that the committee's
49 priorities are addressed on schedule.
50 * Assign well-defined tasks to team members that are to be completed
51 by a fixed deadline.
52 * Ensure that the team objectives are met.
53 * Followup with team members to ensure that tasks are completed and
54 objectives are followed.
