Team leaders who organize investigations have a lot more responsibility than the rest of the team. They should have gained confidence in their leadership abilities over time and feel sufficiently motivated before being put in charge of an investigation. A certain level of maturity must be evident, because the team depends on the decisions the team leader makes and they must have implicit faith in her judgment.

The Ghost Hunter Team Leader’s Responsibilities

If an investigation is characterized by chaos, confusion, and ineptitude, the person in charge of the investigation is going to bear the brunt of the responsibility for it. If he cannot delegate authority and responsibility properly, it will soon become apparent.

Ideally, in larger, better-established organizations, the role of the team leader rotates as cases demand. This role may fall to the older investigators who have been on many cases and know the ropes, but they should be supportive when a novice investigator becomes a team leader for the first time.

The team leader must be responsible for the following areas:

Responsibility to the client
Responsibility to conduct an ethical, fair investigation
Responsibility for fellow team members’ safety
Responsibility to supervise personnel and property in a professional manner that does credit to the organization

All are important and interconnected, but it should be apparent that client confidentiality and safety issues are paramount.
