Your team is highly disorganized and needs a leader. Since the rest of the team is unqualified, you feel you'd be the best person to lead the team. However, there is another team member vying for control. It's obvious his leadership qualities are lacking. However, many of the team members look up to him because he acts like he knows what he's doing. Which of the following strategies would be most effective in helping you emerge as team leader? a.Get your boss to support your bid for leadership.b.Participate more in group decision-making.c.Be more assertive and exert greater influence. d.Openly disparage the qualifications of the other team member. e.Get other team members to support you.

This team is clearly lacking in a leader to the point of observing someone with attitude, albeit false, and seeing a potential leader. If you are a better prepared individual than a competitor, but this competitor has attention-grabbing attitudes, you need to be a protagonist in decisions. So, between two people with attitude, the team will choose the best prepared, which is you.
