Can You Explain Team Leader In The Context Of Software Project Management?

TEAM LEADER
In order to define leadership we must consider the three components involved: Influence
Group
Goal
First, leaders are persons who influence the behaviors of others. These others are usually referred to as sub ordinates or cliques.
Second, leadership is examined in the perspective of a group, especially work groups such as managers and their teams or foremen and their subordinates.
Third, research on leadership stresses a group goal that has to be accomplished.

Therefore we can say that:
Leadership is the process in which an individual influences the group members towards the attainment of group or organization goals.

Another characteristic of leadership is that the right to lead is often voluntarily conferred on the leader by some or all members of the group. A group of friends may recognize one, of their group as the leader, in the sense that he/she influences the group more than any of the other members. There also may be informal leader.

On the other hand the nominal head of a department may have the formal leadership position, the real leadership may be exercised by someone lower down the hierarchy who influences the group towards goals that may not be those that the organization whishes to be.
