captaincy
Team leader role
Captaincy is the position or tenure of a captain—the state of being in command: She assumed the captaincy of the national team.
It applies to military, naval, and sporting contexts alike.
The word emphasizes the role itself rather than the person holding it: Under his captaincy, the club won three championships.
