Team postions

[MattLi]

If you're trying to esablish a chain of command I sugest our nice ELS system (efficient leadership system). We had the same problem last year. We had way to many people who wanted to do one thing, and when we told them to switch around a little they would just slack off until it was their turn again. So we developed the ELS. The ELS establishes leaders based upon the aspects of FIRST. We call these the FIRST class leaders (no pun intended).We have two build captains (maybe three soon). We have a marketing and chairmens captain, we have a programming leader, and we have a project manager to keep them organized. The next in command are what is called the secondary leadership force. These are the people who have found their position on their team and have proved themselves worthy in this field. They report to the FIRST class leaders.Then below them you have the "aspiriations of the future" these are the people who just would like to do a little of everything. Granted they don't have positions of leadership but most of them are happy with where they are. They move from station to station working on different things every day,

My suggestions to you is to put up something along the lines of a calander. When should so and so be done. If they start to goof off just point to the calender. I also find that having lots of leaders helps the entire team as a whole. The more strong points you have the more stable a structure.
