Re: Who is in charge of your team?
Good question
define "in charge" versus "leader"
1) I've never particpated in an event where there was a more clear SHARING of responsibilities amongst the students, the mentors, the teachers and the parents.
2) The one area that MUST always be kept separate is the area of "chaperoning". Since FIRST events are school events, the teachers and the parents MUST maintain the role of chaperones. The mentors cannot (and should not) get involved in chaperoning.
3) Freom the very first day, each student and mentor must be put "in charge" of some set of specific tasks. each task must be clearly written-out and must have a backup plan.
Many Japanese companies spend all their time on planning and then spend a lot less time in actually executing the plan. So,,,plan ahead ane make sure you know what your're "in charge" of....
