How to use verb 'Lead'

I want to create a sentence meaning that I led a team that completed a project. I want to form another sentence without using 'that' after the word 'team'.

I am not sure which sentence is correct:

I led a team to finish a project. (I think meaning is changed?)

I led a team for finishing a project.

Please let me know what is the correct sentence.

Thanks,

Sanju

Yes, the first sentence has changed the meaning. It suggests that the task of the team was to finish the project. It does not say that they also began the project.

  • Yes, the first sentence has changed the meaning.
  • It suggests that the task of the team was to finish the project.
  • It does not say that they also began the project.
  • I do not know why you can't say simply that you led a team tht finished a project.
  • Still, you could try this: I led a team to the finish of a project.

Hi,

You can try this.... 'I led a team in finishing a project.'

(Mostly used while writing a resume).

Thanks.
