"Successful teams need a strong leader who is willing to provide as much or as little leadership as the team requires. In my last internship, I worked on an efficient, successful team that had an experienced and caring project manager. She checked in with our team and with individuals on a bi-weekly basis. She trusted us but also wanted us to learn as much as we could. We all felt invested in the project because leadership showed their own investment."
