Product group: Leader

Leader has more roles, more performance time and opportunities, and is a relatively easy member to pass. But everything has two sides, and the risk is the highest. If the team has a sting and does not form a unified opinion in the end, it is generally because the leader's guidance is negligent and the interview fails. At the same time, the leader who is too strong is not very good, and should give the team members a chance to express their opinions. So if you are determined to play this role, you must do a certain amount of practice to grasp the overall situation.
So how to be a good leader in the group?
1) Before the interview, know as much as possible about the name, school and professional background of the students participating in the interview, and at least communicate with most people; understand each person’s profession and expertise, give reasonable guidance, and be appropriate Give the presentation and summary opportunities at each stage to the appropriate students. Try to break the ice before the interview so that everyone can recognize and trust you. As a leader, it is important to get in touch with everyone before the interview.
2) During the interview, there are many ways for Leader to lead the team, and thinking leading is the first choice, usually speaking first. Only when all team members contribute within the framework of ideas can the integration of collective strength be achieved. Generally, the leader proposes directions and guides and summarizes the ideas of other students. For example, the beginning of the icebreaker: "We are encountering a ××× problem, the purpose is to achieve ×××, when discussing specific solutions, we first determine the overall solution." "Let me talk about my ideas first. Let’s take a look at the supplements and improvements, okay? My thinking is like this..." Generally, after the icebreaker has finished speaking, the students generally agree, and the icebreaker becomes the leading leader.
3) After the overall idea is determined, then the specific implementation methods and steps are discussed. At this time, the leader's biggest task is not to raise ideas, but to encourage team members to discuss together and effectively control the discussion process in this process. Let the discussion revolve around the overall idea, interact with the group members and give feedback, step by step towards the goal. For example, "Are you talking about reducing costs?" "How do you reduce costs?" "Are you talking about attaching importance to employee training and improving production efficiency?" "What about other students' opinions?" . Use more questions, summarize and synthesize the opinions of team members in time, and let the team members actively feedback to you.
4) Pay attention to the problem of opportunity allocation. It is necessary to combine individual professional advantages, appropriately guide the team members to give full play to their strengths, and provide professional opinions for solutions. For example, "×××, from the perspective of marketing, what do you think should be handled?" etc. If a classmate doesn’t speak much or can’t get the opportunity to speak, the leader can say, “Any other opinions? Or let’s listen to the opinions of classmates ×××.” In short, give play to the abilities of each group member. Knowledge advantage, integrating a perfect solution within the prescribed time, is Leader's greatest contribution direction.
The role of Leader is the one with the highest quality requirements. It needs to have the ability to communicate, tolerate, empathize, and summarize. At the same time, it must have the tact and solid product knowledge to guide the direction in critical situations to make the final decision. In summary, Leader needs to use his enthusiasm to drive the entire team forward, use good arrangements to ensure that the team plan is carried out, and use his own knowledge and sufficient analysis to facilitate effective team discussions. Therefore, for this role that is easy for everyone to fight for, there are two suggestions: first, don't try to be a leader if you are not a leader, otherwise it will be easy to harm others and yourself; second, the leader should aim at solving problems and take into account all For the purpose of members, you can mention less of your ideas and comments.
