SPORT PSYCHOLOGY · DR. MARLON MELVILLE
Share leadership around the task
Clarify a team problem, assign useful leadership functions and review behaviour without a blame cycle.
Use a fictional or non-identifying example. This worksheet supports learning; it is not a psychological assessment. Write on a printed copy or choose “Return” to build a downloadable plan online.
1. Define the shared task
Describe the specific coordination problem rather than judging personalities.
2. Allocate functions
Who checks cues, invites questions and leads the review? State how each person reports back.
3. Agree communication
Write a brief check-back or question that lets a teammate raise uncertainty without humiliation.
4. Review behaviour and inclusion
Observe coordination and role clarity. Ask whether every member could contribute, rather than measuring popularity alone.
