| 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. | |
| 44 | |
| 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. | |
