How should leaders be selected?

[ablatner]

Our leadership is decided by a consensus of the mentors and existing leadership. Generally, after a couple seasons, it is clear which students will naturally replace graduating leaders. We can see which students take initiative, are responsible, knowledgeable, and simply good leaders. There really isn't much to it.

EDIT: I suppose it would be good to say that Team 100 has an official roster of 55 as of December 5. You can probably take 5-7 off that for people who dropped when build season started. Out of that ~50, ~30 come to the majority of worksessions. A (relatively) small core team may be why we don't have a real application process.
