In the present research, an MCDM approach namely, Euclidean Distance Based Approximation (EDBA) which is based on the calculation of the composite distance value for each alternative from a hypothetical optimal point is presented. The result of this study provides a comprehensive ranking of team leaders that leads to the right selection of team leader in information technology (IT) sector. 2017 Growing Science Ltd.
