B) Establishing a shared vision is the first step when leading a team. A shared vision provides a clear understanding of what the team is working towards and helps to align individual goals with the larger goal of the team. By establishing a shared vision, the leader can inspire and motivate team members, and create a sense of purpose and direction for the team. Once a shared vision is established, the leader can then move on to making an action plan, empowering others to act, and fostering loyalty and obedience.
