Re: What does your team call its "leader"?

Well officially it is captain on the theory that a club has a president and a team has a captain. However I do occasionally get the title Castro, Hitler or other dictator, there is always a name, however I do like Ceasar of "C".

Re: What does your team call its "leader"?

"I told you. We're an anarcho-syndicalist commune. We take it in turns to act as a sort of executive officer for the week. But all the decisions of that officer have to be ratified at a special biweekly meeting. By a simple majority in the case of purely internal affairs, but by a two-thirds majority in the case of more..."

No, seriously, that's about it. We don't have a major power structure, we just all pretty much work and then at the final inspection whoever happened to be talking with the inspector just signs off as captain.

Re: What does your team call its "leader"?

For the OCCRA season, we have co-captains, and for FIRST, we have a leadership team consisting of chassis, electronics/programming, promotions/communication, and appendage leaders. The project manager oversees this leadership team, and, in effect, the whole team.

As for less formal names, my team called me the Mother Duckling a lot...

Re: What does your team call its "leader"?

Soldering sovereign I think I might have to take that title. While we have a commodore of the team we have so many groups with leaders. Lil' Lavery and myself are co-captains of outreach for example and the list of leaders goes on and on... ..

Re: What does your team call its "leader"?

Our team does not have any official leaders. We have sub teams with their leaders. Most of the the time, the kids who put in the most amount of work end up being the "real" leader of the sub group. Our team is pretty much run by 5 students(who put in the most amount of work), and the rest put in all they can. I'm guessing the 80/20 rule applies here too. 20% of the kids do 80% of the work. All this has worked well because we've got work done(that needs to be done) efficiently and in time.

Re: What does your team call its "leader"?

FIRST ROBOTICS is part of our six week project in our class of Engineering Physics and Engineering Systems. So keeping in mind the strucure of our class and System Engineering Projects, our leader is called Project Manager; and then so on. We have Public Relatio Manager, Additional Manager, Sub-Team Captains (head designer, head animator, head programmer etc), and Coach.
Yes but the team leader is called Project Manager. Even though Public Relation and Additional Manager do all the work. Lolzz

Re: What does your team call its "leader"?

Like others... we have sub- team leaders. At the beginning of the year we used to meet in a "project management" meeting so we were called "Project managers" but that didn't last too long. Now we are just the "sub-team leaders" and there are eight to ten of us.

Re: What does your team call its "leader"?

We have two co-captains on our team. Since there are two schools on our team, this works out fairly well. The powers of the captains are very limited during the build; everyone gets an equal say. The responsibility of the captain is to keep each school informed and make phone calls and e-mails about meetings and such if it is necessary.

Re: What does your team call its "leader"?

For the first two years of 1168's existence, the leader was the President and was elected by the team. After that didn't work out so well last year, the Board of Directors (mentors) appointed a CEO this year, who was the team's student leader.

However, we don't have a very formal leadership structure. Essentially, whoever's in a best position to do the work ends up doing it, whether or not they're actually the designated officer/underling in charge of doing it.

Well... currently leader, but last year's team lead was known as "The Plaid Warrior." Unfortunately, he moved to Indiana.

Re: What does your team call its "leader"?

We don't have one student leader in charge of all the kids, but, if they are mature enough and qualified enough for the position, the team's mentors do appoint individual student captains to head up each subteam. These students work directly with each adult subteam captain to make sure the responsibilities of each group are carried out successfully.

We got a President, Vice president, Treasurer, and Secretary.

Although I am going to want to switch the names after some of these ones that are mentioned in the thread.
