team leaders
Those directing squads
Team leaders are people who direct and coordinate a group working toward a shared goal.
The term spans contexts from corporate projects to sports to military units.
A team leader typically assigns tasks, monitors progress, and represents the group to higher authority.
The team leaders met to discuss the quarterly targets.
Unlike managers, team leaders often work alongside their teams rather than above them.
