In today episode we are talking about my top ten favorite girl group leaders. The position leader is someone who leads and represent the team during their activities. They will have the respect of their fellow members and guide their members. Many times the leader position is given to the oldest member, the member that been trained the longest or the member that mature and charismatic. Some groups may choose to not have a leader and some groups may change their leaders every so often. Some groups may even share that position with two members in the group.
