The fact that you do realise that you have low self-esteem and that it would affect the way you lead your team is a good start. And you have taken a further step to deal with it by asking this question. Good for you.
Self-esteem refers to your overall opinion of yourself and the value you place on yourself as a person. Low self-esteem is when this opinion of yourself is negative: for example, 'I'm useless' or 'I'm unworthy'. This opinion can be changed with positive and determined action by yourself. It takes time. You can seek professional help if you like.
You say that you lack experience, this can be a symptom of your low self esteem, but I suspect its simply because you have not done much or anything similar to the SFI business.
There are many tools available within SFI that can help. There is also a lot of information on the internet about self esteem and what you can do to overcome or to combat low self esteem.
I believe that the best way to combat low self esteem and lack of experience in order to become a good SFI team leader is to just get in there and do it.
Become more active in SFI and grow your team. Read all about how to become an 'awesome sponsor' and put as many of these into practice as much as possible. Treat your team members as you would like to be treated: with care and respect, encouraging them, acknowledging their achievements, training them and urging them on. Its not going to be easy and you have to keep at it.
When you or your team members have some successes, savor and celebrate them. Pat yourself on the back and say 'Yes! I've done it!'
In time you will grow in knowledge and experience. Any thoughts of being unworthy to be a good SFI team leader will vanish and with confidence you will enjoy leading your team.
