Which statement best describes a rotation of leadership within a team to build capacity?

• A. Discourage feedback among teammates
• B. Prioritize individual statistics over team culture
• C. Rotate leadership roles and model ethical behavior
• D. Rely on a single captain for all decisions

Answer: (C)

Rotating leadership builds capacity by giving multiple players the chance to guide the group, make decisions, and model how the team should operate. When leadership roles shift, teammates develop practical skills in planning, communication, accountability, and conflict resolution. Seeing leaders model ethical behavior—consistently acting with integrity and fairness—sets a clear standard for the team’s culture and how decisions should be made. This approach also creates resilience and continuity: if one leader steps aside, others are ready to lead without disruption, and the team benefits from different leadership styles and perspectives.

In contrast, options that discourage feedback, chase individual statistics over team culture, or rely on a single captain concentrate power and suppress growth, which undermines the team’s ability to develop leadership capacity over time.
