A team leader is a person who provides guidance, instruction, direction and leadership to a group of individuals for the purpose of achieving a key result or a group of aligned results. The team leader monitors the quantitative and qualitative achievements of the team and reports results to a manager.

Good churches like good businesses thrive on good leadership bringing us to a place of being complementary and like-minded people.

It is true of business, of industry, and cannot be less true for the church and the various forms of ministry. In today’s complex world we cannot be all things to all men, we need to collaborate with others, to be able to develop and cultivate relationships between ministries, and with secular organizations.

This resource consists of 2 main sections:

Learning support material
Assessment

You should first read the learning support material. This should give you an understanding of what is required to be done in this unit.

The assessment section consists of 3 areas:

Formative assessments
Summative assessments
Observation reports

Ideally, you should do the formative assessment progressively as you read through the Learning Support Material. When you have finished all the reading and all the formative assessment activities you can go on to the summative assessments. At any stage, you can go straight to the assessment section.

To complete the practical section of the assessment (Observation reports) an assessor might visit you in a workplace to observe you applying your new skills. Alternatively, a third party (eg a supervisor) may observe you and provide a report to your trainer/ assessor. If a workplace observation is not practical you might need to demonstrate your skills in a simulated environment.

When you receive a satisfactory assessment result for each of the required assessment activities you will be deemed competent. The final recording sheet should be completed.
