This is indeed done by a manager, but I don't really see how the "leader" fits into this. It's more of a management function

I hope the manager discusses this with the team, and that it's actually the team telling the manager, and not the other way around.

This is the manager indeed
- watwut 4y agoFinal contract is definitely not done by sales. That would be ridiculous as they have literally zero knowledge over how much the thing should cost and when it could be done. Maybe if you have packed done software where you are selling it without making contracts about future features. The negotiating is done by manager. > This is indeed done by a manager, but I don't really see how the "leader" fits into this. It's more of a management function If you cant do this, you cant lead. Because these negotiations are key to both what resources team will get and to what will be expected from the team. Everyone else then need to fit their visions into whatever was agreed on here and in discussions with customes. > I hope the manager discusses this with the team, and that it's actually the team telling the manager, and not the other way around. Discussing with others before making decision does not make you not not lead. But, the idea that discussing with others somehow excludes you from leadership position explains why there is tendency to attribute leadership to less powerful positions that indeed discuss with others less.
