Re: What is a Team Captain/Leader's Role?

I personally think that the goal of any team leadership is to make sure the most students are the most educated and the most inspired; the best way to do that is a question for smarter people then me. Right off the bat I'm not thrilled about one person having absolute power over a team. That said one person who is rational, listens to others and is willing to do what the majority wants at times even if it conflicts with their personal views is fine by me. While that one person does have absolute power, as long as they do not exercise it with arrogance, I don't think it's a problem. The only problem with this system is that people who have the necessary attributes to fill that role as described are few and far between, and sometimes people who don't have those necessary attributes end up in that position. At the end of the day the buck has to stop with someone(s), who that(they) is (are) depends on the team.
