Things you don't do... call your team leader names because you are too damn incompetent to do your work and he is riding your case making you do your fair share.
Well in that case you need to go to the people who are going to rip your ass about why you are going to rip this team members ass wide open.
I think as a team leader you made som mistakes...\\
ALWAYS ASK FOR PROOF OF PROGRESS!!!!
As the project proceeds you have regular meetings...right? Well at these meetings you are supposed to ask everyone to bring in hard copy of all their research and progress....if it cannot be put in hard copy then you are responsible for going to their desk and viewing whatever it is they have to show.
If they cannot provide satisfactory proof of advancement then you either boot them from the team and find a replacement, or you ride their ass until it is done.
Seems simple and that is the position you agreed to accept when being made team leader...whether or not you understood this responsibility fully is on you.
