Oh, how much we've struggled with this. Having a ton of people is definitely out biggest strength, but it is hard to do. My team, 4256, The Cyborg Cats, are a sixth year team and have had over 100 members the last two years. We put a huge focus on leadership, as we have about twenty sub-teams in our org chart. We pride ourselves in having a place for everyone, from athletes to drama kids to the occasional engineer. We do leadership training once a week in the offseason. We require each leader to have a plan for what their team is going to do every day of the season, and we organize that in Google Drive by documenting the plan and then what happened. We also have a work schedule for different teams. It all comes down to planning and organization. The leaders have to stick with their team, too. We've found that when we empower our people by helping them feel like they are a crucial part of the team, they stick around and buy in to our vision. If there is no buy in, the people just won't buy in. Also, having a lot of mentors is sooo helpful.
