group leader

One directing others

A group leader is the person in charge of a small team or organized unit—guiding activities, making decisions, and coordinating members toward shared goals.

The term appears across contexts from corporate settings to summer camps to therapy sessions: Our group leader assigned everyone a task.

It implies responsibility for others without necessarily suggesting high rank.
