- Assigning roles to team members, by instructor Tim Kemp, Camosun College: Tim uses a ‘horizontal-leadership’ model for assigning roles. For a group of five, each member is assigned one of the following roles: Coordinator, Researcher, Analyst, Editor, or Presenter. Each person steps up and ‘leads’ as appropriate for the project. Everyone participates in the analysis, for example, but the Analyst is responsible for ensuring everything gets done in a timely manner. S/he ‘leads’ when analysis is taking place. S/he ‘follows’ and supports when others ‘lead’. (i.e.: The Analyst does research, writes, etc. in support of other team members as appropriate.)
