Having been the core team leader of our team for 3 years and having gone through our teams Leadership structure development, I would like to recommend the following.

FOCUS ON THE FUTURE...
What may work now(4 team leaders w/ shared responsibility) will probably not work for every subsequent year of your team. Focus on developing a structure and organization that is sustainable through all fluctuations in team membership. For three years, our team changed its leadership structure every year to mold to the students on the team, something you want to prevent from happening.

Through these three years our team has grown from 7 to 13 to 25 students, and with the team expected to be at around 35-40 students next year, we needed something that could provide long term structure. Our team's overall goal is twofold: 1) Spreading the ideals of FIRST through inspiration. and 2) Developing leaders. We believe it should be the youth driving the future of the organization (our team), and that every person who wants to hold a leadership position should be able to have one.

With that, we developed our leadership structure, and established how it would work with expanding or retracting team membership. --A long term solution.

Set out what your goals are for the leadership, and slit up the tasks between the people, but do not have them all hold a "co-president position".

Hopefully this makes sense? IF you would like me to share our team manual that covers our leadership structure, let me know via PM, and I can email it to you.
