A Kinesiology practice today is itself a team
of professionals whose cooperation and teamwork repairs muscle tears, sprains, broken bones and provides pain relief for mostly athletic clients/patients.
Every team must have leadership providing members
with direction; he/she must be the “author of vision, mentor,
guide, motivator, and a source of e n c o u r a g e m e n t
[support]” (Daianu &
Abrudan, 2015).
Leaders empower and encourage teamwork by reinforcing the No “I” in Team rule, while at the same time bestowing independence, injecting self-esteem, and motivating members of the group. Simply put, “leadership is a ‘we’ thing, not an ‘I’ thing” (Drennan & Richey, 2012).
