But a problem appeared during the very first task —giving out the roles. Lisa and Mary both wanted to play the princess.Some of the team thought Mary was better. The others went with Lisa. Everyone looked at me and expected me to decide. But I just froze. Actually, I thought Mary was better, too. But what if I was wrong? What if I hurt Lisa's feelings? My silence made Lisa angry. “I'm out!” she shouted and stormed off. Then the whole team was silent. My first day as a leader was awful! What should I do? Could you please advise me?
